Abstract:
A first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed over a semiconductor material layer. The first gate structure includes a planar silicon-based gate dielectric, a planar high-k gate dielectric, a metallic nitride portion, and a first semiconductor material portion, and the second gate structure includes a silicon-based dielectric material portion and a second semiconductor material portion. After formation of gate spacers and a planarization dielectric layer, the second gate structure is replaced with a transient gate structure including a chemical oxide portion and a second high-k gate dielectric. A work-function metal layer and a conductive material portion can be formed in each gate electrode by replacement of semiconductor material portions. A gate electrode includes the planar silicon-based gate dielectric, the planar high-k gate dielectric, and a U-shaped high-k gate dielectric, and another gate electrode includes the chemical oxide portion and another U-shaped high-k gate dielectric.
Abstract:
A method for semiconductor fabrication includes forming at least one of a diffusion barrier layer and a metal containing layer over a dielectric layer in a gate cavity. A first anneal is performed to diffuse elements from the at least one of the diffusion barrier layer and the metal containing layer into the dielectric layer. The metal containing layer and the diffusion barrier layer are removed. A second anneal is performed to adjust diffusion of the elements in the dielectric layer to provide a gate dielectric region.
