    摘要: When forming sophisticated high-k metal gate electrode structures, for instance on the basis of a replacement gate approach, superior interface characteristics may be obtained on the basis of using a thermally grown base material, wherein the electrically effective thickness may be reduced on the basis of a low temperature anneal process. Consequently, the superior interface characteristics of a thermally grown base material may be provided without requiring high temperature anneal processes, as are typically applied in conventional strategies using a very thin oxide layer formed on the basis of a wet oxidation chemistry.

    摘要: Generally, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to modern sophisticated semiconductor devices and methods for forming the same, wherein a reduced threshold voltage (Vt) may be achieved in HK/MG transistor elements that are manufactured based on replacement gate electrode integrations. One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming a first metal gate electrode material layer above a gate dielectric material layer having a dielectric constant of approximately 10 or greater. The method further includes exposing the first metal gate electrode material layer to an oxygen diffusion process, forming a second metal gate electrode material layer above the first metal gate electrode material layer, and adjusting an oxygen concentration gradient and a nitrogen concentration gradient in at least the first metal gate electrode material layer and the gate dielectric material layer.
