摘要:
Methods of forming complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structures with tunable threshold voltages are provided. The methods disclose a technique of obtaining selective placement of threshold voltage adjusting materials on a semiconductor substrate by using a block mask prior to deposition of the threshold voltage adjusting materials. The block mask is subsequently removed to obtain a patterned threshold voltage adjusting material on the semiconductor substrate. The methods are material independent and can be used in sequence for both nFET threshold voltage adjusting materials and pFET threshold voltage adjusting materials.

摘要:
A method for fabricating an FET device is disclosed. The FET device has a gate insulator with a high-k dielectric portion, and a threshold modifying material. The method introduces a stabilizing material into the gate insulator in order to hinder one or more metals from the threshold modifying material to penetrate across the high-k portion of the gate insulator. The introduction of the stabilizing material may involve disposing a stabilizing agent over a layer which contains an oxide of the one or more metals. A stabilizing material may also be incorporated into the high-k dielectric. Application of the method may lead to FET devices with unique gate insulator structures.

The present invention provides a metal stack structure that stabilizes the flatband voltage and threshold voltages of material stacks that include a Si-containing conductor and a Hf-based dielectric. This present invention stabilizes the flatband voltages and the threshold voltages by introducing a rare earth metal-containing layer into the material stack that introduces, via electronegativity differences, a shift in the threshold voltage to the desired voltage. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal stack comprising: a hafnium-based dielectric; a rare earth metal-containing layer located atop of, or within, said hafnium-based dielectric; an electrically conductive capping layer located above said hafnium-based dielectric; and a Si-containing conductor.
