    摘要: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having multiple gate dielectric thickness layers. The method, in one embodiment, includes forming a first layer of gate dielectric material over a semiconductor substrate in a first active region and a second active region of a semiconductor device, and patterning a masking layer to expose the first layer of gate dielectric material located in the first active region. The method further includes subjecting exposed portions of the first layer of gate dielectric material to a nitrogen containing plasma, thereby forming a second layer of gate dielectric material over the first layer of gate dielectric material located in the first active region, incorporating oxygen into the second layer of gate dielectric material located in the first active region, and removing the, patterned masking layer, thereby resulting in a first greater thickness gate dielectric in the first active region and a second lesser thickness gate dielectric in the second active region.

    摘要: A process is disclosed of forming metal replacement gates for NMOS and PMOS transistors with oxygen in the PMOS metal gates and metal atom enrichment in the NMOS gates such that the PMOS gates have effective work functions above 4.85 eV and the NMOS gates have effective work functions below 4.25 eV. Metal work function layers in both the NMOS and PMOS gates are oxidized to increase their effective work functions to the desired PMOS range. An oxygen diffusion blocking layer is formed over the PMOS gate and an oxygen getter is formed over the NMOS gates. A getter anneal extracts the oxygen from the NMOS work function layers and adds metal atom enrichment to the NMOS work function layers, reducing their effective work functions to the desired NMOS range. Processes and materials for the metal work function layers, the oxidation process and oxygen gettering are disclosed.

    摘要: An integrated circuit having a gate dielectric layer (414, 614, 814) having an improved nitrogen profile and a method of fabrication. The gate dielectric layer is a graded layer with a significantly higher nitrogen concentration at the electrode surface than near the substrate surface. An amorphous silicon layer (406) may be deposited prior to nitridation to retain the nitrogen concentration at the top surface (416). Alternatively, a thin silicon nitride layer (610) may be deposited after anneal or a wet nitridation process may be performed.
