    Abstract: A method of forming a complementary field-effect transistor (CFET) device includes: forming a plurality of channel regions stacked vertically over a fin; forming an isolation structure between a first subset of the plurality of channel regions and a second subset of the plurality of channel regions; forming a gate dielectric material around the plurality of channel regions and the isolation structure; forming a work function material around the gate dielectric material; forming a silicon-containing passivation layer around the work function material; after forming the silicon-containing passivation layer, removing a first portion of the silicon-containing passivation layer disposed around the first subset of the plurality of channel regions and keeping a second portion of the silicon-containing passivation layer disposed around the second subset of the plurality of channel regions; and after removing the first portion of the silicon-containing passivation layer, forming a gate fill material around the plurality of channel regions.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for forming a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a substrate and forming first and second spacers on the substrate. The method includes depositing first and second self-assembly (SAM) layers respectively on sidewalls of the first and second spacers and depositing a layer stack on the substrate and between and in contact with the first and second SAM layers. Depositing the layer stack includes depositing a ferroelectric layer and removing the first and second SAM layers. The method further includes depositing a metal compound layer on the ferroelectric layer. Portions of the metal compound layer are deposited between the ferroelectric layer and the first or second spacers. The method also includes depositing a gate electrode on the metal compound layer and between the first and second spacers.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a sacrificial layer on sidewalls of gate spacers disposed over a semiconductor layer, forming a first hafnium-containing gate dielectric layer over the semiconductor layer in a first trench disposed between the gate spacers, removing the sacrificial layer to form a second trench between the gate spacers and the first hafnium-containing gate dielectric layer, forming a second hafnium-containing gate dielectric layer over the first hafnium-containing gate dielectric layer and on the sidewalls of the gate spacers, annealing the first and the second hafnium-containing gate dielectric layers while simultaneously applying an electric field, and subsequently forming a gate electrode over the annealed first and second hafnium-containing gate dielectric layers.
