    摘要: Methods are presented for fabricating transistor gate structures, wherein upper and lower metal suicides are formed above a gate dielectric. In one example, the lower silicide is formed by depositing a thin first silicon-containing material over the gate dielectric, which is implanted and then reacted with a first metal by annealing to form the lower silicide. A capping layer can be formed over the first metal prior to annealing, to prevent oxidation of the metal prior to silicidation, and a barrier layer can be formed over the lower silicide to prevent reaction with subsequently formed silicon material. In another example, the lower silicide is a multilayer silicide structure including a plurality of metal silicide sublayers.

    摘要: Concurrently forming different metal gate transistors having respective work functions is disclosed. In one example, a metal carbide, which has a relatively low work function, is formed over a semiconductor substrate. Oxygen and/or nitrogen are then added to the metal carbide in a second region to establish a second work function in the second region, where the metal carbide itself establishes a first work function in a first region. One or more first metal gate transistor types are then formed in the first region and one or more second metal gate transistor types are formed in the second region.

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments provide structures and fabrication methods for dual work function metal gate electrodes. The work function value of a metal gate electrode can be increased and/or decreased by disposing various electronegative species and/or electropositive species at the metal/dielectric interface to control interface dipoles. In an exemplary embodiment, various electronegative species can be disposed at the metal/dielectric interface to increase the work function value of the metal, which can be used for a PMOS metal gate electrode in a dual work function gated device. Various electropositive species can be disposed at the metal/dielectric interface to decrease the work function value of the metal, which can be used for an NMOS metal gate electrode in the dual work function gated device.
