Methods of forming a semiconductor device structure at advanced technology nodes and respective semiconductor device structures are provided at advanced technology nodes, i.e., smaller than 100 nm. In some illustrative embodiments, a fluorine implantation process for implanting fluorine at least into a polysilicon layer formed over a dielectric layer structure is performed prior to patterning the gate dielectric layer structure and the polysilicon layer for forming a gate structure and implanting source and drain regions at opposing sides of the gate structure.
