    摘要: Semiconductor devices and fabrication methods are provided, in which metal transistor gates are provided for MOS transistors. Metal boride is formed above a gate dielectric to create PMOS gate structures and metal nitride is formed over a gate dielectric to provide NMOS gate structures. The metal portions of the gate structures are formed from an initial starting material that is either a metal boride or a metal nitride, after which the starting material is provided with boron or nitrogen in one of the PMOS and NMOS regions through implantation, diffusion, or other techniques, either before or after formation of the conductive upper material, and before or after gate patterning. The change in the boron or nitrogen content of the starting material provides adjustment of the material work function, thereby tuning the threshold voltage of the resulting PMOS or NMOS transistors.

    摘要: Forming metal gate transistors that have different work functions is disclosed. In one example, a first metal is added to a first region of polysilicon overlying a dielectric that is on a substrate, and a second metal is added to a second region of the polysilicon. A third metal is formed over the first and second regions and a silicidation process if performed to form a first alloy in the first region and a second alloy in the second region. First and second segregated regions are also established adjacent to the dielectric in the first and second regions, respectively. The first and second metals serve to shift or adjust respective values of first and second work functions in the first and second regions.

An oxide layer is formed in core and I/O regions of a semiconductor device (506). The oxide layer is removed (508) from the core region of the device.
