Abstract:
A method includes forming isolation regions extending into a semiconductor substrate, and recessing the isolation regions. After the recessing, a portion of a semiconductor material between the isolation region protrudes higher than top surfaces of the isolation regions to form a semiconductor fin. The method further includes forming a gate stack, which includes forming a gate dielectric on sidewalls and a top surface of the semiconductor fin, and depositing a titanium nitride layer over the gate dielectric as a work-function layer. The titanium nitride layer is deposited at a temperature in a range between about 300° C. and about 400° C. A source region and a drain region are formed on opposing sides of the gate stack.
