    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.

    摘要: A disposable gate structure and a gate spacer are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A disposable gate material portion is removed and a high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric layer and a metal nitride layer are formed in a gate cavity and over a planarization dielectric layer. The exposed surface portion of the metal nitride layer is converted into a metal oxynitride by a surface oxidation process that employs exposure to ozonated water or an oxidant-including solution. A conductive gate fill material is deposited in the gate cavity and planarized to provide a metal gate structure. Oxygen in the metal oxynitride diffuses, during a subsequent anneal process, into a high-k gate dielectric underneath to lower and stabilize the work function of the metal gate without significant change in the effective oxide thickness (EOT) of the high-k gate dielectric.

    摘要: A method of simultaneously fabricating n-type and p type field effect transistors can include forming a first replacement gate having a first gate metal layer adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a first opening in a dielectric region overlying a first active semiconductor region. A second replacement gate including a second gate metal layer can be formed adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a second opening in a dielectric region overlying a second active semiconductor region. At least portions of the first and second gate metal layers can be stacked in a direction of their thicknesses and separated from each other by at least a barrier metal layer. The NFET resulting from the method can include the first active semiconductor region, the source/drain regions therein and the first replacement gate, and the PFET resulting from the method can include the second active semiconductor region, source/drain regions therein and the second replacement gate.
