Lattice matched barrier for dual doped polysilicon gates

摘要

The present invention generally provides a layered stack that can be used in a metal oxide semiconductor. In certain embodiments, the layered stack may be a gate stack that can be used in semiconductor devices, such as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices. In another embodiment, the layered stack comprises a dual doped layer having a first doped region and a second doped region in contact with each other, a barrier layer located on the dual doped layer and overlapping the first and second doped regions. The barrier layer includes a nitrided metal silicide. This particular embodiment further includes an ancillary conductive layer located on the barrier layer and that includes an ancillary conductive layer metal silicide. <IMAGE>
