    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated circuit relative to a wafer comprising a semiconductor substrate. The method first forms a first dielectric layer having a first thickness and along the substrate, the first forming step comprising plasma etching the wafer in a first substrate area and a second substrate area and thereafter growing the first dielectric layer in the first substrate area and the second substrate area. After the first step, the method second forms a second dielectric layer having a second thickness and along the substrate in the second substrate area, the second thickness less than the first thickness, the second forming step comprising removal of the first dielectric layer in the second substrate area without plasma and until a surface of the substrate is exposed and growing the second dielectric layer in at least a portion of the surface.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is formed to include a first polarity MOS transistor and a second, opposite, polarity MOS transistor. A hard mask of silicon-doped boron nitride (SixBN) with 1 atomic percent to 30 atomic percent silicon is formed over the first polarity MOS transistor and the second polarity MOS transistor. The hard mask is removed from source/drain regions of the first polarity MOS transistor and left in place over the second polarity MOS transistor. Semiconductor material is epitaxially grown at the source/drain regions of the first polarity MOS transistor while the hard mask is in place. Subsequently, the hard mask is removed from the second polarity MOS transistor.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is formed by removing a sacrificial gate dielectric layer and a sacrificial gate to form a gate cavity. A conformal dielectric first liner is formed in the gate cavity and a conformal second liner is formed on the first liner. A first etch removes the second liner from the bottom of the gate cavity, leaving material of the second liner on sidewalls of the gate cavity. A second etch removes the first liner from the bottom of the gate cavity exposed by the second liner, leaving material of the first liner on the bottom of the gate cavity under the second liner on the sidewalls of the gate cavity. A third etch removes the second liner from the gate cavity, leaving an L-shaped spacers of the first liner in the gate cavity. A permanent gate dielectric layer and replacement gate are formed in the gate cavity.
