Abstract

See full text

A method for manufacturing a dual work function semiconductor device is disclosed. In one aspect, a method starts by forming a host dielectric layer over a first and second region of a substrate. A first dielectric capping layer is formed overlying the host dielectric layer on the first and second region and later selectively removed to expose an underlying layer on the first region. A Hf-based dielectric capping layer is formed overlying the underlying layer on the first region and the first dielectric capping layer on the second region. The Hf-based dielectric capping layer is selected to have a healing effect on the exposed surface of the underlying layer on the first region. A control electrode is formed overlaying the Hf-based dielectric capping layer on the first region and on the second region.
