Dielectric films from gadolinium gallium garnet single crystal were deposit
ed by electron-beam evaporation on strained Si1-x/Ge-x/Si layers at 300K to
form high-le metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. The p-Si0.74G
e0.26/Ga2O3(Gd2O3) interface properties were studied through C-V and G-V me
asurements of the MIS capacitors, which showed encouraging electrical chara
cteristics with oxide k = 12.3 and minimum interface state density D-it of
4.8 x 10(11) cm(-2)eV(-1).
