  • Publication number: 20240071767
    Abstract: A method includes removing a dummy gate stack to form a trench between gate spacers, depositing a gate dielectric extending into the trench, and performing a first treatment process on the gate dielectric. The first treatment process is performed using a fluorine-containing gas. A first drive-in process is then performed to drive fluorine in the fluorine-containing gas into the gate dielectric. The method further includes performing a second treatment process on the gate dielectric, wherein the second treatment process is performed using the fluorine-containing gas, and performing a second drive-in process to drive fluorine in the fluorine-containing gas into the gate dielectric. After the second drive-in process, conductive layers are formed to fill the trench.
