Abstract:
Examples of an integrated circuit with a gate structure and a method for forming the integrated circuit are provided herein. In some examples, a workpiece is received that includes a substrate having a channel region. A gate dielectric is formed on the channel region, and a layer containing a dopant is formed on the gate dielectric. The workpiece is annealed to transfer the dopant to the gate dielectric, and the layer is removed after the annealing. In some such examples, after the layer is removed, a work function layer is formed on the gate dielectric and a fill material is formed on the work function layer to form a gate structure.
