Abstract: An improved method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: depositing a dielectric layer on a substrate; depositing a first cap layer on the dielectric layer; depositing an etch stop layer on the dielectric layer; and depositing a dummy cap layer on the etch stop layer to form a partial gate structure. Also provided is a partially formed semiconductor device. The partially formed semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a dielectric layer on the substrate; a first cap layer on the dielectric layer; an etch stop layer on the dielectric layer; and a dummy cap layer on the etch stop layer forming a partial gate structure.

Abstract: Fin-type transistor fabrication methods and structures are provided having one or more nitrided conformal layers, to improve reliability of the semiconductor device. The method includes, for example, providing at least one material layer disposed, in part, conformally over a fin extending above a substrate, the material layer(s) including a gate dielectric layer; and performing a conformal nitridation process over an exposed surface of the material layer(s), the conformal nitridation process forming an exposed, conformal nitrided surface.
