Integrated circuits with improved gate uniformity and methods for fabricating same

Abstract

Integrated circuits with improved gate uniformity and methods for fabricating such integrated circuits are provided. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate and a replacement metal gate structure overlying the semiconductor substrate. The replacement metal gate structure includes a first metal and a second metal and has a recess surface formed by the first metal and the second metal. The first metal and the second metal include a first species of diffused foreign ions. The integrated circuit further includes a metal fill material overlying the recess surface formed by the first metal and the second metal.
