A device and method of formation are provided for a high-k gate dielectric and gate electrode. The high-k dielectric material is formed, and a silicon-rich film is formed over the high-k dielectric material. The silicon-rich film is then treated through either oxidation or nitridation to reduce the Fermi-level pinning that results from both the bonding of the high-k material to the subsequent gate conductor and also from a lack of oxygen along the interface of the high-k dielectric material and the gate conductor. A conductive material is then formed over the film through a controlled process to create the gate conductor.

A method of forming a light-emitting diode (LED) device and separating the LED device from a growth substrate is provided. The LED device is formed by forming an LED structure over a growth substrate. The method includes forming and patterning a mask layer on the growth substrate. A first contact layer is formed over the patterned mask layer with an air bridge between the first contact layer and the patterned mask layer. The first contact layer may be a contact layer of the LED structure. After the formation of the LED structure, the growth substrate is detached from the LED structure along the air bridge.

A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate; forming a low-k dielectric layer over the substrate; embedding a conductive wiring into the low-k dielectric layer; and thermal soaking the conductive wiring in a carbon-containing silane-based chemical to form a barrier layer on the conductive wiring. A lining barrier layer is formed in the opening for embedding the conductive wiring. The lining barrier layer may comprise same materials as the barrier layer, and the lining barrier layer may be recessed before forming the barrier layer and may contain a metal that can be silicided.
