  • Patent number: 9219078
    Abstract: A method for semiconductor fabrication includes providing channel regions on a substrate including at least one Silicon Germanium (SiGe) channel region, the substrate including a plurality of regions including a first region and a second region. Gate structures are formed for a first n-type field effect transistor (NFET) and a first p-type field effect transistor (PFET) in the first region and a second NFET and a second PFET in the second region, the gate structure for the first PFET being formed on the SiGe channel region. The gate structure for the first NFET includes a gate material having a first work function and the gate structures for the first PFET, second NFET and second PFET include a gate material having a second work function such that multi-threshold voltage devices are provided.
