A method for manufacturing a dual workfunction semiconductor device and the device made thereof are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes manufacturing a first transistor in a first region and a second transistor in a second region of a substrate, the first transistor including a first gate stack, the first gate stack having a first gate dielectric capping layer and a first metal gate electrode layer.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a dual work function semiconductor device is disclosed. In one aspect, a method starts by forming a host dielectric layer over a first and second region of a substrate. A first dielectric capping layer is formed overlying the host dielectric layer on the first and second region and later selectively removed to expose an underlying layer on the first region. A Hf-based dielectric capping layer is formed overlying the underlying layer on the first region and the first dielectric capping layer on the second region. The Hf-based dielectric capping layer is selected to have a healing effect on the exposed surface of the underlying layer on the first region. A control electrode is formed overlaying the Hf-based dielectric capping layer on the first region and on the second region.
