Abstract: A method includes removing a first dummy gate stack and a second dummy gate stack to form a first trench and a second trench. The first dummy gate stack and the second dummy gate stack are in a first device region and a second device region, respectively. The method further includes depositing a first gate dielectric layer and a second gate dielectric layer extending into the first trench and the second trench, respectively, forming a fluorine-containing layer comprising a first portion over the first gate dielectric layer, and a second portion over the second gate dielectric layer, removing the second portion, performing an annealing process to diffuse fluorine in the first portion into the first gate dielectric layer, and at a time after the annealing process, forming a first work-function layer and a second work-function layer over the first gate dielectric layer and the second gate dielectric layer, respectively.

Abstract: The structure of a semiconductor device with different gate structures configured to provide ultra-low threshold voltages and a method of fabricating the semiconductor device are disclosed. The method includes forming first and second nanostructured channel regions in first and second nanostructured layers, respectively, and forming first and second gate-all-around (GAA) structures surrounding the first and second nanostructured channel regions, respectively. The forming the first and second GAA structures includes selectively forming an Al-based n-type work function metal layer and a Si-based capping layer on the first nanostructured channel regions, depositing a bi-layer of Al-free p-type work function metal layers on the first and second nanostructured channel regions, depositing a fluorine blocking layer on the bi-layer of Al-free p-type work function layers, and depositing a gate metal fill layer on the fluorine blocking layer.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein are directed to a method for the fabrication of transistors with aluminum-free n-type work function layers as opposed to aluminum-based n-type work function layers. The method includes forming a channel portion disposed between spaced apart source/drain epitaxial layers and forming a gate stack on the channel portion, where forming the gate stack includes depositing a high-k dielectric layer on the channel portion and depositing a p-type work function layer on the dielectric layer. After depositing the p-type work function layer, forming without a vacuum break, an aluminum-free n-type work function layer on the p-type work function layer and depositing a metal on the aluminum-free n-type work function layer. The method further includes depositing an insulating layer to surround the spaced apart source/drain epitaxial layers and the gate stack.

Abstract: A method includes forming a dummy gate stack over a semiconductor region, forming a source/drain region on a side of the dummy gate stack, removing the dummy gate stack to form a trench, depositing a gate dielectric layer extending into the trench, depositing a metal-containing layer over the gate dielectric layer, and depositing a silicon-containing layer on the metal-containing layer. The metal-containing layer and the silicon-containing layer in combination act as a work-function layer. A planarization process is performed to remove excess portions of the silicon-containing layer, the metal-containing layer, and the gate dielectric layer, with remaining portions of the silicon-containing layer, the metal-containing layer, and the gate dielectric layer forming a gate stack.
