    摘要: According to some embodiments, an electrode have a high effective work function is formed. The electrode may be the gate electrode of a transistor and may be formed on a high-k gate dielectric by depositing a first layer of conductive material, exposing that first layer to a hydrogen-containing gas, and depositing a second layer of conductive material over the first layer. The first layer may be deposited using a non-plasma process in which the substrate is not exposed to plasma or plasma-generated radicals. The hydrogen-containing gas to which the first layer is exposed may include an excited hydrogen species, which may be part of a hydrogen-containing plasma, and may be hydrogen-containing radicals. The first layer may also be exposed to oxygen before depositing the second layer. The work function of the gate electrode in the gate stack may be about 5 eV or higher in some embodiments.

The metal silicides are preferably nickel silicides formed by the reaction of nickel with substitutionally carbon-doped single crystalline silicon which has about 2 atomic % or more substitutional carbon. Unexpectedly, the metal silicides are stable to temperatures of about 900° C. and higher and their sheet resistances are substantially unaffected by exposure to high temperatures. The metal silicides are compatible with subsequent high temperature processing steps, including reflow anneals of BPSG.
