Abstract: The present disclosure describes fabricating devices with tunable gate height and effective capacitance. A method includes forming a first metal gate stack in a dummy region of a semiconductor substrate, the first metal gate stack including a first work function metal (WFM) layer; forming a second metal gate stack in an active device region of the semiconductor substrate, the second metal gate stack including a second WFM layer different than the first WFM layer; and performing a CMP process using a slurry including a charged abrasive nanoparticles. The charged abrasive nanoparticles include a first concentration in the active device region different from a second concentration in the dummy region causing different polish rates in the active device region and dummy region. After the performing of the CMP process, the first metal gate stack has a first height greater different from a second height of the second metal gate stack.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes fabricating devices with tunable gate height and effective capacitance. A method includes forming a first metal gate stack in a dummy region of a semiconductor substrate and a second metal gate stack in an active device region of the semiconductor substrate, and performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process using a slurry including charged abrasive nanoparticles. The first and second metal gate stacks are different in composition. The charged abrasive nanoparticles include a first concentration in the active device region different from a second concentration in the dummy region.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a structure that provides insulation in a semiconductor device and a method for forming the structure. The structure includes a first isolation structure including a first isolation layer disposed on a substrate, a second isolation layer disposed on the first isolation layer, and a first high-k dielectric layer having a first height and disposed on the second isolation layer. The structure further includes a second isolation structure including a third isolation layer disposed on the substrate, a fourth isolation layer disposed on the third isolation layer, and a second high-k dielectric layer having a second height and disposed on the fourth isolation layer, where the second height is less than the first height. The structure further includes a gate structure disposed on the first isolation structure, and an insulating structure disposed adjacent to the gate structure and on the second isolation structure.
