Abstract

A method of fabricating a device includes providing a substrate of the device, forming a structure of the device, the structure being supported by the substrate, having a semiconductor composition, and including a surface, where nitrogen is present at the surface, and incorporating oxygen into the surface to form a stabilizing layer on the surface. Incorporating oxygen into the surface is implemented such that the stabilizing layer includes a uniform distribution of an oxynitride material
