A process fabricating a semiconductor device with a hybrid HK/metal gate stack fabrication is disclosed. The process includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of isolation features between a PFET region and a NFET region, and forming gate stacks on the semiconductor substrate. In the PFET region, the gate stack is formed as a HK/metal gate. In the NFET region, the gate stack is formed as a polysilicon gate. A high-resistor is also formed on the semiconductor substrate by utilizing another polysilicon gate.

The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a first gate structure and a second gate structure over a substrate. The first and second gate structures each include a high-k dielectric layer located over the substrate, a capping layer located over the high-k dielectric layer, an N-type work function metal layer located over the capping layer, and a polysilicon layer located over the N-type work function metal layer. The method includes forming an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer over the substrate, the first gate structure, and the second gate structure. The method includes polishing the ILD layer until a surface of the ILD layer is substantially co-planar with surfaces of the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The method includes replacing portions of the second gate structure with a metal gate. A silicidation process is then performed to the semiconductor device.

A tri-layer element is formed on the gate dielectric layer. The tri-layer element includes a first capping layer, a second capping layer, and a metal gate layer interposing the first and second capping layer. One of an nFET and a pFET gate structure are formed using the tri-layer element, for example, the second capping layer and the metal gate layer may form a work function layer for one of an nFET and a pFET device. The first capping layer may be a sacrificial layer used to pattern the metal gate layer.

A method of making an integrated circuit includes providing a substrate with a high-k dielectric and providing a polysilicon gate structure over the high-k dielectric. A doping process is performed on the substrate adjacent to the polysilicon gate structure, after which the polysilicon gate structure is removed and replaced with a metal gate structure. An interlayer dielectric (ILD) is deposited over the metal gate structure and the doped substrate, and a dry etch process forms a trench in the ILD to a top surface of the metal gate structure. After the dry etch process, a wet etch process forms an undercut near the top surface of the metal gate structure. The trench and undercut are then filled with a conductive material.
