发明名称 Changing effective work function using ion implantation during dual work function metal gate integration
摘要 Ion implantation to change an effective work function for dual work function metal gate integration is presented. One method may include forming a high dielectric constant (high-k) layer over a first-type field effect transistor (FET) region and a second-type FET region; forming a metal layer having a first effective work function compatible for a first-type FET over the first-type FET region and the second-type FET region; and changing the first effective work function to a second, different effective work function over the second-type FET region by implanting a species into the metal layer over the second-type FET region.

主权项 1. A method comprising: forming a high dielectric constant (high-k) layer over a first-type field effect transistor (FET) region and a second-type FET region; forming a single metal layer having a first effective work function compatible for a first-type FET over the first-type FET region and the second-type FET region; and changing the first effective work function to a second, different effective work function over the second-type FET region by implanting an aluminum (Al) species into the single metal layer over the second-type FET region, wherein the changing results in a greater than 50 milli-Volt shift in a threshold voltage of the second-type FET and wherein the aluminum species diffuses into the high dielectric constant layer.
