    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes the steps of forming a masking layer that covers a P-type transistor and exposes at least a gate cap layer of an N-type transistor, performing a first etching process through the masking layer to remove a portion of the gate cap of the N-type transistor so as to thereby define a reduced thickness gate cap layer for the N-type transistor, removing the masking layer, and performing a common second etching process on the P-type transistor and the N-type transistor that removes a gate cap layer of the P-type transistor and the reduced thickness gate cap of the N-type transistor.

    Abstract: Methods for forming a semiconductor device are provided. In one embodiment, a gate structure having a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode structure formed on the gate insulating layer is provided. The methods provide reducing a dimension of the gate electrode structure relative to the gate insulating layer along a direction extending in parallel to a direction connecting the source and drain. A semiconductor device structure having a gate structure including a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode structure formed above the gate insulating layer is provided, wherein a dimension of the gate electrode structure extending along a direction which is substantially parallel to a direction being oriented from source to drain is reduced relative to a dimension of the gate insulating layer. According to some examples, gate structures are provided having a gate silicon length which is decoupled from the channel width induced by the gate structure.

    Abstract: A method comprises providing a semiconductor structure comprising a gate structure provided over a semiconductor region. An ion implantation process is performed. In the ion implantation process, a first portion of the semiconductor region adjacent the gate structure and a second portion of the semiconductor region adjacent the gate structure are amorphized so that a first amorphized region and a second amorphized region are formed adjacent the gate structure. An atomic layer deposition process is performed. The atomic layer deposition process deposits a layer of a material having an intrinsic stress over the semiconductor structure. A temperature at which at least a part of the atomic layer deposition process is performed and a duration of the at least a part of the atomic layer deposition process are selected such that the first amorphized region and the second amorphized region are re-crystallized during the atomic layer deposition process.
