摘要： FET device structures are disclosed with the PFET and NFET devices having high-k dielectric gate insulators and metal containing gates. The metal layers of the gates in both the NFET and PFET devices have been fabricated from a single common metal layer. As a consequence of using a single layer of metal for the gates of both type of devices, the terminal electrodes of NFETs and PFETs can be butted to each other in direct physical contact. The FET device structures further contain stressed device channels, and gates with effective workfunctions of n+ Si and p+ Si values.

摘要： A CMOS structure is disclosed in which both type of FET devices have gate insulators containing high-k dielectrics, and gates containing metals. The threshold of the two type of devices are adjusted in separate manners. One type of device has its threshold set by exposing the high-k dielectric to oxygen. During the oxygen exposure the other type of device is covered by a stressing dielectric layer, which layer also prevents oxygen penetration to its high-k gate dielectric. The high performance of the CMOS structure is further enhanced by adjusting the effective workfunctions of the gates to near band-edge values both NFET and PFET devices.

摘要： CMOS circuit structures are disclosed with the PFET and NFET devices having high-k dielectric layers consisting of the same gate insulator material, and metal gate layers consisting of the same gate metal material. The PFET device has a “p” interface control layer which is capable of shifting the effective-workfunction of the gate in the p-direction. In a representative embodiment of the invention the “p” interface control layer is aluminum oxide. The NFET device may have an “n” interface control layer. The materials of the “p” and “n” interface control layers are differing materials. The “p” and “n” interface control layers are positioned to the opposite sides of their corresponding high-k dielectric layers. Methods for fabricating the CMOS circuit structures with the oppositely positioned “p” and “n” interface control layers are also disclosed.
