    Abstract: Intrinsic channels one or more intrinsic semiconductor materials are provided in a semiconductor substrate. A high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric layer is formed on the intrinsic channels. A patterned diffusion barrier metallic nitride layer is formed. A threshold voltage adjustment oxide layer is formed on the physically exposed portions of the high-k gate dielectric layer and the diffusion barrier metallic nitride layer. An anneal is performed to drive in the material of the threshold voltage adjustment oxide layer to the interface between the intrinsic channel(s) and the high-k gate dielectric layer, resulting in formation of threshold voltage adjustment oxide portions. At least one work function material layer is formed, and is patterned with the high-k gate dielectric layer and the threshold voltage adjustment oxide portions to form multiple types of gate stacks.

    Abstract: The thickness and composition of a gate dielectric can be selected for different types of field effect transistors through a planar high dielectric constant material portion, which can be provided only for selected types of field effect transistors. Further, the work function of field effect transistors can be tuned independent of selection of the material stack for the gate dielectric. A stack of a barrier metal layer and a first-type work function metal layer is deposited on a gate dielectric layer within recessed gate cavities after removal of disposable gate material portions. After patterning the first-type work function metal layer, a second-type work function metal layer is deposited directly on the barrier metal layer in the regions of the second type field effect transistor. A conductive material fills the gate cavities, and a subsequent planarization process forms dual work function metal gate structures.

In one embodiment, the work function metal stack includes a titanium-oxide-nitride layer located between a lower titanium nitride layer and an upper titanium nitride layer. The stack of the lower titanium nitride layer, the titanium-oxide-nitride layer, and the upper titanium nitride layer produces the unexpected result of increasing the work function of the work function metal stack significantly. In another embodiment, the work function metal stack includes an aluminum layer deposited at a temperature not greater than 420° C. The aluminum layer deposited at a temperature not greater than 420° C. produces the unexpected result of increasing the work function of the work function metal stack significantly.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure has a semiconductor substrate and an nFET and a pFET disposed upon the substrate. The pFET has a semiconductor SiGe channel region formed upon or within a surface of the semiconductor substrate and a gate dielectric having an oxide layer overlying the channel region and a high-k dielectric layer overlying the oxide layer. A gate electrode overlies the gate dielectric and has a lower metal layer abutting the high-k layer, a scavenging metal layer abutting the lower metal layer, and an upper metal layer abutting the scavenging metal layer. The metal layer scavenges oxygen from the substrate (nFET) and SiGe (pFET) interface with the oxide layer resulting in an effective reduction in Tinv and Vt of the pFET, while scaling Tinv and maintaining Vt for the nFET, resulting in the Vt of the pFET becoming closer to the Vt of a similarly constructed nFET with scaled Tinv values.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a wafer having gate stacks over channel fins. The wafer includes a first channel fin in an n-type region of a substrate, a second channel fin in a p-type region of the substrate, and a gate dielectric over the substrate and the first and second channel fins. A work function metal stack is over the gate dielectric, the first channel fin in the n-type region, and the second channel fin in the p-type region. The work function metal stack over the gate dielectric and the first channel fin in the n-type region forms a first work function metal stack. The work function metal stack over the gate dielectric and the second fin in the p-type region forms a second work function metal stack. The first work function metal stack includes a shared layer of work function metal shared with the second work function metal stack.
