    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a first gate structure and a second gate structure over a substrate. The first and second gate structures each include a high-k dielectric layer located over the substrate, a capping layer located over the high-k dielectric layer, an N-type work function metal layer located over the capping layer, and a polysilicon layer located over the N-type work function metal layer. The method includes forming an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer over the substrate, the first gate structure, and the second gate structure. The method includes polishing the ILD layer until a surface of the ILD layer is substantially co-planar with surfaces of the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The method includes replacing portions of the second gate structure with a metal gate. A silicidation process is then performed to the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having five gate stacks on different regions of a substrate and methods of making the same are described. The device includes a semiconductor substrate and isolation features to separate the different regions on the substrate. The different regions include a p-type field-effect transistor (pFET) core region, an input/output pFET (pFET IO) region, an n-type field-effect transistor (nFET) core region, an input/output nFET (nFET IO) region, and a high-resistor region.

    摘要: A method of semiconductor device fabrication including providing a substrate having a gate dielectric layer such as a high-k dielectric disposed thereon. A tri-layer element is formed on the gate dielectric layer. The tri-layer element includes a first capping layer, a second capping layer, and a metal gate layer interposing the first and second capping layer. One of an nFET and a pFET gate structure are formed using the tri-layer element, for example, the second capping layer and the metal gate layer may form a work function layer for one of an nFET and a pFET device. The first capping layer may be a sacrificial layer used to pattern the metal gate layer.
