TRANSITION METAL ALLOYS FOR USE AS A GATE ELECTRODE AND DEVICES INCORPORATING THESE ALLOYS

摘要

Embodiments of a transition metal alloy having an n-type or p-type work function that does not significantly shift at elevated temperature. The disclosed transition metal alloys may be used as, or form a part of, the gate electrode in a transistor. Methods of forming a gate electrode using these transition metal alloys are also disclosed.
