Abstract

See full text

A method includes forming first and second gate cavities so as to expose first and second portions of a semiconductor material. A gate insulation layer is formed in the first and second gate cavities. A first work function material layer is formed in the first gate cavity. A second work function material layer is formed in the second gate cavity. A first barrier layer is selectively formed above the first work function material layer and the gate insulation layer in the first gate cavity. A second barrier layer is formed above the first barrier layer in the first gate cavity and above the second work function material layer and the gate insulation layer in the second gate cavity. A conductive material is formed above the second barrier layer in the first and second gate cavities in the presence of a treatment species to define first and second gate electrode structures.
