摘要: A semiconductor device includes a channel layer, an interfacial layer, a gate dielectric layer, a gate electrode, dipole elements, and additional elements. The interfacial layer is disposed on the channel layer, and includes an insulating material. The gate dielectric layer is disposed over the interfacial layer such that the channel layer is separated from the gate dielectric layer by the interfacial layer. The gate electrode is disposed on the gate dielectric layer. The dipole elements are present in at least one of the interfacial layer and the gate dielectric layer in a predetermined amount such that the semiconductor device has a predetermined threshold voltage. The additional elements are located at a region where the dipole elements are present so as to reduce interfacial defects caused by the dipole elements. The additional elements are different from the dipole elements. Methods for manufacturing the semiconductor device are also disclosed.

摘要: A method includes forming a fin structure including a plurality of first semiconductor layers and a plurality of second semiconductor layers alternately stacked over a substrate. A dummy gate structure is formed across the fin structure. The exposed second portions of the fin structure are removed. A selective etching process is performed, using a gas mixture including a hydrogen-containing gas and a fluorine-containing gas, to laterally recess the first semiconductor layers. Inner spacers are formed on opposite end surfaces of the laterally recessed first semiconductor layers. Source/drain epitaxial structures are formed on opposite end surfaces of the second semiconductor layers. The dummy gate structure is removed to expose the first portion of the fin structure. The laterally recessed first semiconductor layers are removed. A gate structure is formed to surround each of the second semiconductor layers.
