Abstract: Ni3Si2 FUSI gates can be formed inter alia by further reaction of NiSi/Ni2Si gate stacks. Ni3Si2 behaves similarly to NiSi in terms of work function values, and of modulation with dopants on SiO2, in contrast to Ni-rich silicides which have significantly higher work function values on HfSixOy and negligible work function shifts with dopants on SiO2. Formation of Ni3Si2 can applied for applications targeting NiSi FUSI gates, thereby expanding the process window without changing the electrical properties of the FUSI gate.

Abstract: A dual workfunction semiconductor device which comprises a first and second control electrode comprising a metal-semiconductor compound, e.g. a silicide or a germanide, and a dual workfunction semiconductor device thus obtained are disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises forming a blocking region for preventing diffusion of metal from the metal-semiconductor compound of the first control electrode to the metal-semiconductor compound of the second control electrode, the blocking region being formed at a location where an interface between the first and second control electrodes is to be formed or is formed. By preventing metal to diffuse from the one to the other control electrode the constitution of the metal-semiconductor compounds of the first and second control electrodes may remain substantially unchanged during e.g. thermal steps in further processing of the device.
