    Abstract: Methods of scaling thickness of a gate dielectric structure that overlies a semiconductor substrate, methods of forming an integrated circuit, and integrated circuits are provided. A method of scaling thickness of a gate dielectric structure that overlies a semiconductor substrate includes providing the semiconductor substrate. An interfacial oxide layer is formed in or on the semiconductor substrate. A high-k dielectric layer is formed over the interfacial oxide layer. An oxygen reservoir is formed over at least a portion of the high-k dielectric layer. A sealant layer is formed over the oxygen reservoir. The semiconductor substrate including the oxygen reservoir disposed thereon is annealed to diffuse oxygen through the high-k dielectric layer and the interfacial oxide layer from the oxygen reservoir. Annealing extends the interfacial oxide layer into the semiconductor substrate at portions of the semiconductor substrate that underlie the oxygen reservoir to form a regrown interfacial region in or on the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes removing sacrificial gate structures for NMOS and PMOS transistors to thereby define NMOS and PMOS gate cavities, forming a high-k gate insulation layer in the NMOS and PMOS gate cavities, forming a lanthanide-based material layer on the high-k gate insulation layer in the NMOS and PMOS gate cavities, performing a heating process to drive material from the lanthanide-based material layer into the high-k gate insulation layer so as to thereby form a lanthanide-containing high-k gate insulation layer in each of the NMOS and PMOS gate cavities, and forming gate electrode structures above the lanthanide-containing high-k gate insulation layer in the NMOS and PMOS gate cavities.
