1. A multilayered semiconductor device comprising:
a substrate comprising n-type doped silicon carbide (SiC);
an epitaxial transition layer comprising a first semiconductor oxide material or SiC, wherein the epitaxial transition layer is on a surface of the substrate;
an epitaxial oxide layer comprising the first semiconductor oxide material, wherein the epitaxial oxide layer is in contact with the epitaxial transition layer; and
a metal layer above the epitaxial oxide layer,
wherein the epitaxial transition layer comprises an n-type doping density that is at least an order of magnitude greater than an n-type doping density of the epitaxial oxide layer, and
wherein the epitaxial transition layer further comprises a variable n-type doping density that varies in a growth direction that is approximately perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate.
