    摘要: Embodiments of methods for fabricating the semiconductor devices are provided. The method includes forming a layer of spacer material over a semiconductor region that includes a first gate electrode structure and a second gate electrode structure. Carbon is introduced into a portion of the layer covering the semiconductor region about the first gate electrode structure or the second gate electrode structure. The layer is etched to form a first sidewall spacer about the first gate electrode structure and a second sidewall spacer about the second gate electrode structure.

    摘要: In sophisticated semiconductor devices, high-k metal gate electrode structures may be provided in an early manufacturing stage wherein the threshold voltage adjustment for P-channel transistors may be accomplished on the basis of a threshold voltage adjusting semiconductor alloy, such as a silicon/germanium alloy, for long channel devices, while short channel devices may be masked during the selective epitaxial growth of the silicon/germanium alloy. In some illustrative embodiments, the threshold voltage adjustment may be accomplished without any halo implantation processes for the P-channel transistors, while the threshold voltage may be tuned by halo implantations for the N-channel transistors.

    摘要: When forming sophisticated high-k metal gate electrode structures in an early manufacturing stage on the basis of a silicon/germanium semiconductor alloy for adjusting appropriate electronic conditions in the channel region, the efficiency of a strain-inducing embedded semiconductor alloy, such as a silicon/germanium alloy, may be enhanced by initiating a crystal growth in the silicon material of the gate electrode structure after the gate patterning process. In this manner, the negative strain of the threshold voltage adjusting silicon/germanium alloy may be reduced or compensated for.
