Abstract:
A method of fabricating a replacement gate stack for a semiconductor device includes the following steps after removal of a dummy gate: growing a high-k dielectric layer over the area vacated by the dummy gate; depositing a thin metal layer over the high-k dielectric layer; depositing a sacrificial layer over the thin metal layer; performing a first rapid thermal anneal; removing the sacrificial layer; and depositing a metal layer of low resistivity metal for gap fill.
Abstract:
A method of forming a transistor device includes forming an interfacial layer and a dielectric layer over a substrate; and forming a workfunction metal layer over the dielectric layer, the workfunction metal layer comprising a titanium-aluminum-carbon-oxygen (TiAlCO) layer.
