Abstract:
A method of forming semiconductor devices having improved work function layers and semiconductor devices formed by the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes depositing a gate dielectric layer on a channel region over a semiconductor substrate; depositing a first p-type work function metal on the gate dielectric layer; performing an oxygen treatment on the first p-type work function metal; and after performing the oxygen treatment, depositing a second p-type work function metal on the first p-type work function metal.
