Abstract: Methods of manufacturing electronic devices, such as transistors (negative metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistors (e.g., an N-metal stack) and positive metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistors (e.g., a P-metal stack)) are described. Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to methods of improving PMOS transistor performance by inhibiting N-metal layer growth. The present disclosure provides two types of processes to reduce or inhibit N-metal layer growth. The disclosure provides methods which include forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the metal surface (e.g., titanium nitride (TiN)) of the PMOS, and methods which include forming a silicon-containing layer such as silicon oxide (SiOx) on the TiN surface. These two types of processes significantly reduce or inhibit the subsequent growth of an N-metal layer, such as titanium aluminum carbide (TiAlC), on the TiN surface of the PMOS.
