A method passivates a surface of a semiconductor structure. The method provides III-V semiconductor material having a surface to be passivated. Upon the surface of the III-V semiconductor material to be passivated an oxide layer is formed. Thereafter, the surface of the III-V semiconductor material having the oxide layer is passivated, without desorption of the oxide layer and in a vacuum of 2x10<SUP>-6 </SUP>Torr, with a material having the ability to intermix with the oxide layer so as to exchange oxygen, passivation layer material, and III-V semiconductor material therebetween to form graded layers of oxidized III-V and passivation material. |
