An oxide interface and a method for fabricating an oxide interface are provided. The method comprises forming a silicon layer and an oxide layer overlying the silicon layer. The oxide layer is formed at a temperature of less than 400.degree. C. using an inductively coupled plasma source. In some aspects of the method, the oxide layer is more than 20 nanometers (nm) thick and has a refractive index between 1.45 and 1.47. In some aspects of the method, the oxide layer is formed by plasma oxidizing the silicon layer, producing plasma oxide at a rate of up to approximately 4.4 nm per minute (after one minute). In some aspects of the method, a high-density plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HD-PECVD) process is used to form the oxide layer. In some aspects of the method, the silicon and oxide layers are incorporated into a thin film transistor.
