  • Patent number: 11978802
    Abstract: Provided are FinFET devices and methods of forming the same. A dummy gate having gate spacers on opposing sidewalls thereof is formed over a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed around the dummy gate. An upper portion of the dummy gate is removed and upper portions of the gate spacers are removed, so as to form a first opening in the dielectric layer. A lower portion of the dummy gate is removed to form a second opening below the first opening. A metal layer is formed in the first and second openings. The metal layer is partially removed to form a metal gate.

  • Publication number: 20240145470
    Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.
