A method of forming a semiconductor layer, which in one embodiment is part of a photodetector, includes forming a silicon shape, applying ozonated water, removing the first oxide layer at a temperature below 600 degrees Celsius, and epitaxially growing germanium. The silicon shape has a top surface that is exposed. The ozonated water is applied to the top surface and causes formation of a first oxide layer on the top surface. The germanium is grown on the top surface.
