An SiGe alloy layer is used for fabrication of strained Si-MOSFET devices. The use of C atoms instead of Ge is also presented. Oxidation processes in the gate insulator formation on the Si$$_{1-x}$$C$$_{x}$$ alloy layer is completely different comparing to an Si clean surface. In this study, behavior of C atoms in the oxidation of Si$$_{1-x}$$C$$_{x}$$ alloy layer has been investigated by real-time XPS. Concentration of C atoms in the SiO$$_{2}$$/Si interface took place due to induced strain by oxidation. And 3C-SiC growth occurred when C density increased over a critical value of 0.2.
