Patent number: 9209186Abstract: A range of lowest, low and regular threshold voltages are provided to three p-type devices and three n-type devices co-fabricated on a same substrate. For the p-type devices, the range is achieved for the lowest using an additional thick layer of a p-type work function metal in a gate structure and oxidizing it, the low Vt is achieved with the thick p-type work function metal alone, and the regular Vt is achieved with a thinner layer of the p-type work function metal. For the n-type devices, the lowest Vt is achieved by implanting tantalum nitride with arsenic, argon, silicon or germanium and not adding any of the additional p-type work function metal in the gate structure, the low Vt is achieved by not adding the additional p-type work function metal, and the regular Vt is achieved with a thinnest layer of the p-type work function metal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.Inventors: Mitsuhiro Togo, Changyong Xiao, Yiqun Liu, Dina H.

Patent number: 8652890Abstract: Methods are provided for fabricating an integrated circuit that includes metal filled narrow openings. In accordance with one embodiment a method includes forming a dummy gate overlying a semiconductor substrate and subsequently removing the dummy gate to form a narrow opening. A layer of high dielectric constant insulator and a layer of work function-determining material are deposited overlying the semiconductor substrate. The layer of work function-determining material is exposed to a nitrogen ambient in a first chamber. A layer of titanium is deposited into the narrow opening in the first chamber in the presence of the nitrogen ambient to cause the first portion of the layer of titanium to be nitrided. The deposition of titanium continues, and the remaining portion of the layer of titanium is deposited as substantially pure titanium. Aluminum is deposited overlying the layer of titanium to fill the narrow opening and to form a gate electrode.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Inc.Inventors: Sven Schmidbauer, Dina H.

Patent number: 8404594Abstract: A semiconductor process and apparatus includes forming first and second gate electrodes (151, 161) by forming the first gate electrode (151) over a first high-k gate dielectric (121) and forming the second gate electrode (161) over at least a second high-k gate dielectric (122) different from the first gate dielectric (121). Either or both of the high-k gate dielectric layers (121, 122) may be formed by depositing and selectively etching an initial layer of high-k dielectric material (e.g., 14). As deposited, the initial layer (14) has an exposed surface (18) and an initial predetermined crystalline structure. An exposed thin surface layer (20) of the initial layer (14) is prepared for etching by modifying the initial crystalline structure in the exposed thin surface layer. The modified crystalline structure in the exposed thin surface layer may be removed by applying a selective etch, such as HF or HCl.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Dina H.
