    摘要: When forming high-k metal gate electrode structures in transistors of different conductivity type while also incorporating an embedded strain-inducing semiconductor alloy selectively in one type of transistor, superior process uniformity may be accomplished by selectively reducing the thickness of a dielectric cap material of a gate layer stack above the active region of transistors which do not receive the strain-inducing semiconductor alloy. In this case, superior confinement and thus integrity of sensitive gate materials may be accomplished in process strategies in which the sophisticated high-k metal gate electrode structures are formed in an early manufacturing stage, while, in a replacement gate approach, superior process uniformity is achieved upon exposing the surface of a placeholder electrode material.

    摘要: The work function of a high-k gate electrode structure may be adjusted in a late manufacturing stage on the basis of a lanthanum species in an N-channel transistor, thereby obtaining the desired high work function in combination with a typical conductive barrier material, such as titanium nitride. For this purpose, in some illustrative embodiments, the lanthanum species may be formed directly on the previously provided metal-containing electrode material, while an efficient barrier material may be provided in the P-channel transistor, thereby avoiding undue interaction of the lanthanum species in the P-channel transistor.

    摘要: In sophisticated transistor elements including a high-k gate metal stack, the integrity of the sensitive gate materials may be ensured by a spacer element that may be concurrently used as an offset spacer for defining a lateral offset of a strain-inducing semiconductor alloy. The cap material of the sophisticated gate stack may be removed without compromising integrity of the offset spacer by providing a sacrificial spacer element. Consequently, an efficient strain-inducing mechanism may be obtained in combination with the provision of a sophisticated gate stack with the required material integrity, while reducing overall process complexity compared to conventional strategies.
