    摘要: A method of forming a transistor device includes forming an interfacial layer on a semiconductor substrate, corresponding to a region between formed doped source and drain regions in the substrate; forming a high dielectric constant (high-k) layer on the interfacial layer, the high-k layer having a dielectric constant greater than about 7.5; forming a doped metal layer on the high-k layer; performing a thermal process so as to cause the doped metal layer to scavenge oxygen atoms diffused from the interfacial layer such that a final thickness of the interfacial layer is less than about 5 angstroms (Å); and forming a metal gate material over the high-k dielectric layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided. The structure includes a semiconductor substrate of a semiconductor material and a gate dielectric having a high dielectric constant dielectric layer with a dielectric constant greater than silicon. The gate dielectric is located on the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode abuts the gate dielectric. The gate electrodes includes a lower metal layer abutting the gate dielectric, a scavenging metal layer abutting the lower metal layer, an upper metal layer abutting the scavenging metal layer, and a silicon layer abutting the upper metal layer. The scavenging metal layer reduces an oxidized layer at an interface between the upper metal layer and the silicon layer responsive to annealing.
