Devices with multiple threshold voltages formed on a single wafer using strain in the high-K layer |
摘要 |
A method for adjusting a threshold voltage includes depositing a strained liner on a gate structure to strain a gate dielectric. A threshold voltage of a transistor is adjusted by controlling an amount of strain in the liner to control an amount of work function (WF) modulating species that diffuse into the gate dielectric in a channel region. The liner is removed. |

1. A method for adjusting a threshold voltage, comprising:
depositing a strained liner on a gate structure to strain a gate dielectric; adjusting threshold voltage of a transistor after the strained liner is deposited by controlling an amount of strain in the strained liner to control an amount of work function (WF) modulating species that diffuse into the gate dielectric in a channel region; and removing the strained liner. |
