A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided that includes forming a Ge-containing layer atop a p-type device regions of the substrate. Thereafter, a first dielectric layer is formed in a second portion of a substrate, and a second dielectric layer is formed overlying the first dielectric layer in the second portion of the substrate and overlying a first portion of the substrate. Gate structures may then formed atop the p-type device regions and n-type device regions of the substrate, in which the gate structures to the n-type device regions include a rare earth metal.

A transistor has a channel region in a substrate and source and drain regions in the substrate on opposite sides of the channel region. A gate stack is formed on the substrate above the channel region. This gate stack comprises an interface layer contacting the channel region of the substrate, and a high-k dielectric layer (having a dielectric constant above 4.0) contacting (on) the interface layer. A Nitrogen rich first metal Nitride layer contacts (is on) the dielectric layer, and a metal rich second metal Nitride layer contacts (is on) the first metal Nitride layer. Finally, a Polysilicon cap contacts (is on) the second metal Nitride layer.

An NFET containing a first high-k dielectric portion and a PFET containing a second high-k gate dielectric portion are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A gate sidewall nitride is formed on the gate of the NFET, while the sidewalls of the PFET remain free of the gate sidewall nitride. An oxide spacer is formed directly on the sidewalls of a PFET gate stack and on the gate sidewall nitride on the NFET. After high temperature processing, the first and second dielectric portions contain a non-stoichiometric oxygen deficient high-k dielectric material. The semiconductor structure is subjected to an anneal in an oxygen environment, during which oxygen diffuses through the oxide spacer into the second high-k dielectric portion. The PFET comprises a more stoichiometric high-k dielectric material and the NFET comprises a less stoichiometric high-k dielectric material. Threshold voltages of the PFET and the NFET are optimized by the present invention.

FinFETS and methods for making FinFETs with a recessed stress liner. A method includes providing an SOI substrate with fins, forming a gate over the fins, forming an off-set spacer on the gate, epitaxially growing a film to merge the fins, depositing a dummy spacer around the gate, and recessing the merged epi film. Silicide is then formed on the recessed merged epi film followed by deposition of a stress liner film over the FinFET. By using a recessed merged epi process, a MOSFET with a vertical silicide (i.e. perpendicular to the substrate) can be formed. The perpendicular silicide improves spreading resistance.
