Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises a first semiconductor fin arranged on a substrate, the first semiconductor fin having a first channel region, and a second semiconductor fin arranged on the substrate, the second semiconductor fin having a second channel region. A first gate stack is arranged on the first channel region. The first gate stack comprises a first metal layer arranged on the first channel region, a work function metal layer arranged on the first metal layer, and a work function metal arranged on the work function metal layer. A second gate stack is arranged on the second channel region, the second gate stack comprising a work function metal arranged on the second channel region.
Claims12
A method for forming semiconductor devices, the method comprising:
- forming a first channel region, a second channel region, a third channel region, and a fourth channel region on a substrate;
- forming a first metal layer on the first channel region, the second channel region, the third channel region, and the fourth channel region;
- forming a sacrificial block layer on the first metal layer and forming a sacrificial patterning layer on the sacrificial block layer;
- removing the first metal layer, the sacrificial block layer and the sacrificial patterning layer from the first channel region;
- forming a barrier metal layer on the first channel region and over a nitride layer along with forming the barrier metal layer on the second channel region, the third channel region, and the fourth channel region;
- removing, from the second channel region and the third channel region, the first metal layer, the sacrificial block layer, the sacrificial patterning layer, and the barrier metal layer;
- removing, from the fourth channel region, the barrier metal layer, and the sacrificial patterning layer;
- removing the sacrificial block layer from the fourth channel region;
- depositing a third metal layer and a work function metal layer on the first channel region, the second channel region, the third channel region, and the fourth channel region;
- removing the third metal layer and the work function metal layer from the third channel region;
- and
- depositing another work function metal on the first channel region, the second channel region, the third channel region, and the fourth channel region.
