Method for manufacturing n-type mosfet

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method for manufacturing an N-type MOSFET, comprising: forming a part of the MOSFET on a semiconductor substrate, the part of the MOSFET comprising source/drain regions in the semiconductor substrate, a replacement gate stack between the source/drain regions above the semiconductor substrate, and a gate spacer surrounding the replacement gate stack; removing the replacement gate stack of the MOSFET to form a gate opening exposing a surface of the semiconductor substrate; forming an interface oxide layer on the exposed surface of the semiconductor; forming a high-K gate dielectric layer on the interface oxide layer in the gate opening; forming a first metal gate layer on the high-K gate dielectric layer; implanting dopant ions into the first metal gate layer; and performing annealing to cause the dopant ions to diffuse and accumulate at an upper interface between the high-K gate dielectric layer and the first metal gate layer and a lower interface between the high-K gate dielectric layer and the interface oxide layer, and also to generate electric dipoles by interfacial reaction at the lower interface between the high-K gate dielectric layer and the interface oxide layer.
