    摘要: Disclosed is a method to fabricate a semiconductor device, and a device fabricated in accordance with the method. The method includes providing a substrate comprised of silicon; performing a shallow trench isolation process to delineate nFET and pFET active areas and, within each active area, forming a gate structure over a surface of the substrate, the gate structure comprising in order from the surface of the substrate, a layer of high dielectric constant oxide, a layer comprised of a metal, a layer comprised of amorphous silicon, and a layer comprised of polycrystalline silicon. The layer comprised of amorphous silicon is provided to substantially prevent regrowth of the high dielectric constant oxide layer in a vertical direction during at least a deposition and processing of the polycrystalline silicon layer and/or metal layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a metal stack (or gate stack) structure that stabilizes the flatband voltage and threshold voltages of material stacks that include a gate conductor and a dielectric material having a dielectric constant of greater than about 4.0, especially a Hf-based dielectric. This present invention stabilizes the flatband voltages and the threshold voltages by introducing an alkaline earth metal-containing layer into the material stack that introduces, via electronegativity differences, a shift in the threshold voltage to the desired voltage. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal stack comprising a high k dielectric, preferably a hafnium-based dielectric; an alkaline earth metal-containing layer located atop of, or within, said high k dielectric; an electrically conductive capping layer located above said high k dielectric; and a gate conductor.

    摘要: The present invention provides a metal stack structure that stabilizes the flatband voltage and threshold voltages of material stacks that include a Si-containing conductor and a Hf-based dielectric. This present invention stabilizes the flatband voltages and the threshold voltages by introducing a rare earth metal-containing layer into the material stack that introduces, via electronegativity differences, a shift in the threshold voltage to the desired voltage. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal stack comprising a hafnium-based dielectric; a rare earth metal-containing layer located atop of, or within, said hafnium-based dielectric; an electrically conductive capping layer located above said hafnium-based dielectric; and a Si-containing conductor.
