Integration Scheme for Dual Work Function Metal Gates

摘要

A method for making PMOS and NMOS transistors 60, 70 on a semiconductor substrate includes having a gate hardmask over the gate electrode layer during the formation of transistor source/drain regions. The method includes an independent work function adjustment process that implants Group IIIa series dopants into a gate polysilicon layer of a PMOS transistor and implants Lanthanide series dopants into a gate polysilicon layer of NMOS.
