Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric over the substrate, and a metal gate structure over the semiconductor substrate and the gate dielectric. The metal gate structure includes a first metal material. The integrated circuit further includes a seal formed on sidewalls of the metal gate structure. The integrated circuit further includes a dielectric film on the metal gate structure, the dielectric film including a first metal oxynitride comprising the first metal material and directly on the metal gate structure without extending over the seal formed on sidewalls of the metal gate structure.
