    摘要: A method of simultaneously fabricating n-type and p type field effect transistors can include forming a first replacement gate having a first gate metal layer adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a first opening in a dielectric region overlying a first active semiconductor region. A second replacement gate including a second gate metal layer can be formed adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a second opening in a dielectric region overlying a second active semiconductor region. At least portions of the first and second gate metal layers can be stacked in a direction of their thicknesses and separated from each other by at least a barrier metal layer. The NFET resulting from the method can include the first active semiconductor region, the source/drain regions therein and the first replacement gate, and the PFET resulting from the method can include the second active semiconductor region, source/drain regions therein and the second replacement gate.

    摘要: Replacement gate work function material stacks are provided, which provides a work function about the energy level of the conduction band of silicon. After removal of a disposable gate stack, a gate dielectric layer is formed in a gate cavity. A metallic compound layer including a metal and a non-metal element is deposited directly on the gate dielectric layer. At least one barrier layer and a conductive material layer is deposited and planarized to fill the gate cavity. The metallic compound layer includes a material having a work function about 4.4 eV or less, and can include a material selected from tantalum carbide and a hafnium-silicon alloy. Thus, the metallic compound layer can provide a work function that enhances the performance of an n-type field effect transistor employing a silicon channel.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided. The structure includes a semiconductor substrate of a semiconductor material and a gate dielectric having a high dielectric constant dielectric layer with a dielectric constant greater than silicon. The gate dielectric is located on the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode abuts the gate dielectric. The gate electrodes includes a lower metal layer abutting the gate dielectric, a scavenging metal layer abutting the lower metal layer, an upper metal layer abutting the scavenging metal layer, and a silicon layer abutting the upper metal layer. The scavenging metal layer reduces an oxidized layer at an interface between the upper metal layer and the silicon layer responsive to annealing.
