Abstract:
Generally, the present disclosure provides example embodiments relating to tuning threshold voltages in transistor devices and the transistor devices formed thereby. Various examples implementing various mechanisms for tuning threshold voltages are described. In an example method, a gate dielectric layer is deposited over an active area in a device region of a substrate. A dipole layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer in the device region. A dipole dopant species is diffused from the dipole layer into the gate dielectric layer in the device region.

Claim (Index 11):
The structure of  claim 10 , wherein:\n the first dipole dopant concentration is a first dipole dopant peak concentration of the dipole dopant species in the first gate dielectric layer; a first dipole dopant concentration gradient of the dipole dopant species in the first gate dielectric layer decreases from the first dipole dopant peak concentration in a direction towards the first active area; the second dipole dopant concentration is a second dipole dopant peak concentration of the dipole dopant species in the second gate dielectric layer; and a second dipole dopant concentration gradient of the dipole dopant species in the second gate dielectric layer decreases from the second dipole dopant peak concentration in a direction towards the second active area.
