    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure, and the resultant structure. The method includes forming an oxide layer above a substrate. The method includes forming a metal layer above the oxide layer. The method includes forming a first capping layer above the metal layer. A material forming the first capping layer may be titanium oxide, or titanium oxynitride. The method includes annealing the semiconductor structure. Annealing the semiconductor structure may result in diffusing a metal from the metal layer into the oxide layer.

    Abstract: Selective deposition of a silicon-germanium surface layer on semiconductor surfaces can be employed to provide two types of channel regions for field effect transistors. Anneal of an adjustment oxide material on a stack of a silicon-based gate dielectric and a high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric can be employed to form an interfacial adjustment oxide layer contacting a subset of channel regions. Oxygen deficiency can be induced in portions of the high-k dielectric layer overlying the interfacial adjustment oxide layer by deposition of a first work function metallic material layer and a capping layer and a subsequent anneal. Oxygen deficiency can be selectively removed by physically exposing portions of the high-k dielectric layer. A second work function metallic material layer and a gate conductor layer can be deposited and planarized to form gate electrodes that provide multiple effective work functions.

    Abstract: Embodiments include methods of forming an nFET-tuned gate dielectric and a pFET-tuned gate dielectric. Methods may include forming a high-k layer above a substrate having a pFET region and an nFET region, forming a first sacrificial layer, a pFET work-function metal layer, and a second sacrificial layer above the first high-k layer in the pFET region, and an nFET work-function metal layer above the first high-k layer in the nFET region and above the second sacrificial layer in the pFET region. The first high-k layer then may be annealed to form an nFET gate dielectric layer in the nFET region and a pFET gate dielectric layer in the pFET region. The first high-k layer may be annealed in the presence of a nitrogen source to cause atoms from the nitrogen source to diffuse into the first high-k layer in the nFET region.

    Abstract: A system and method generate atomic hydrogen (H) for deposition of a pure metal in a three-dimensional (3D) structure. The method includes forming a monolayer of a compound that includes the pure metal. The method also includes depositing the monolayer on the 3D structure and immersing the 3D structure with the monolayer in an electrochemical cell chamber including an electrolyte. Applying a negative bias voltage to the 3D structure with the monolayer and a positive bias voltage to a counter electrode generates atomic hydrogen from the electrolyte and deposits the pure metal from the monolayer in the 3D structure.
