Single metal gate CMOS device design

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a PMOS transistor formed on a substrate structure. The PMOS transistor includes a source and a drain each including a diffusion region in the substrate structure, a channel region defined between the source and the drain, a gate dielectric over the channel region, and a gate electrode over the gate dielectric. The gate electrode is formed of a material having an n-type work function with respect to the semiconductor substrate and is treated such that a work function of the gate electrode is converted into a mid-gap type or p-type work function with respect to the semiconductor substrate.
