  • Publication number: 20230387233
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a gate space is formed by removing a sacrificial gate electrode formed over a channel region, a first gate dielectric layer is formed over the channel region in the gate space, a second gate dielectric layer is formed over the first gate dielectric layer, one or more conductive layers is formed on the second gate dielectric layer, the second gate dielectric layer and the one or more conductive layers are recessed, an annealing operation is performed to diffuse an element of the second gate dielectric layer into the first gate dielectric layer, and one or more metal layers are formed in the gate space.

  • Publication number: 20230290824
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure includes forming first nanostructures and second nanostructures over a substrate. The method also includes forming a first metal gate layer surrounding the first nanostructures and over the first nanostructures and the second nanostructures. The method also includes etching back the first metal gate layer over the first nanostructures and the second nanostructures. The method also includes removing the first metal gate layer over the second nanostructures. The method also includes forming a second metal gate layer surrounding the second nanostructures and over the first nanostructures and the second nanostructures.
