  • Publication number: 20190164968
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin. A gate dielectric layer is over a top of the fin and laterally adjacent sidewalls of the fin. An N-type gate electrode is over the gate dielectric layer over the top of the fin and laterally adjacent the sidewalls of the fin, the N-type gate electrode comprising a P-type metal layer on the gate dielectric layer, and an N-type metal layer on the P-type metal layer. A first N-type source or drain region is adjacent a first side of the gate electrode. A second N-type source or drain region is adjacent a second side of the gate electrode, the second side opposite the first side.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate comprising an N well region having a semiconductor fin protruding therefrom. A trench isolation layer is on the semiconductor substrate around the semiconductor fin, wherein the semiconductor fin extends above the trench isolation layer. A gate dielectric layer is over the semiconductor fin. A conductive layer is over the gate dielectric layer over the semiconductor fin, the conductive layer comprising titanium, nitrogen and oxygen. A P-type metal gate layer is over the conductive layer over the semiconductor fin.
