1. A method for manufacturing a passivated interface between a dielectric material and a III-V compound, the method comprising:

  • (a) providing a substrate comprising an exposed region comprising a first III-V compound; and

    thereupon(b) forming at least one intermediate layer comprising a second III-V compound; and

    thereafter(c) applying a thermal treatment in ultra-high-vacuum to the substrate such that upon reaching a first temperature (T1) a surface reconstruction of the second III-V compound takes place, thereby forming a group III element-rich surface;

    (d) bringing the substrate containing the group III element-rich surface to a second temperature (T2) and subjecting the group III element-rich surface to an ambient comprising a chalcogenide hydride gas, thereby forming a chalcogenide passivated surface; and

    (e) forming a dielectric layer on the chalcogenide passivated surface, thereby forming a passivated interface between the dielectric layer and the second III-V compound.
