    摘要: In sophisticated semiconductor devices, different threshold voltage levels for transistors may be set in an early manufacturing stage, i.e., prior to patterning the gate electrode structures, by using multiple diffusion processes and/or gate dielectric materials. In this manner, substantially the same gate layer stacks, i.e., the same electrode materials and the same dielectric cap materials, may be used, thereby providing superior patterning uniformity when applying sophisticated etch strategies.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of forming a semiconductor device. In one example, the method comprises forming a gate electrode structure above a semiconducting substrate and forming a plurality of spacers proximate the gate electrode structures, wherein the plurality of spacers comprises a first silicon nitride spacer positioned adjacent a sidewall of the gate electrode structure, a generally L-shaped silicon nitride spacer positioned adjacent the first silicon nitride spacer, and a silicon dioxide spacer positioned adjacent the generally L-shaped silicon nitride spacer.

    摘要: In a P-channel transistor comprising a high-k metal gate electrode structure, a superior dopant profile may be obtained, at least in the threshold adjusting semiconductor material, such as a silicon/germanium material, by incorporating a diffusion blocking species, such as fluorine, prior to forming the threshold adjusting semiconductor material. Consequently, the drain and source extension regions may be provided with a high dopant concentration as required for obtaining the target Miller capacitance without inducing undue dopant diffusion below the threshold adjusting semiconductor material, which may otherwise result in increased leakage currents and increased risk of punch through events.
