Metal gate CMOS and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A metal gate complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. The method includes depositing the metal gate electrode material as a final step before metallization of the device. Accordingly, the metal gate material is not subject to contamination during the fabrication process. The device is fabricated without the use of oxide spacers so that the finished device does not suffer from silicon faceting at the active silicon-to-shallow-trench-isolation-interface. Moreover, the dummy gate material is used to define planarization stops that allow precise planarization of the device during fabrication.
