Transistors that include multilayered dielectric films on a channel region
are provided. The multilayered dielectric comprises a lower dielectric
film that may have a thickness that is at least 50% the thickness of the
multilayered dielectric film and that comprises a metal oxide, a metal
silicate, an aluminate, or a mixture thereof, and an upper dielectric
film on the lower dielectric film, the upper dielectric film comprising a
Group III metal oxide, Group III metal nitride, Group XIII metal oxide or
Group XIII metal nitride. A gate electrode is provided on the
multilayered dielectric film.
