Abstract:
A method includes etching a dummy gate to form an opening. A gate dielectric layer is deposited in the opening. A blocking layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer, wherein the blocking layer has a bottom portion over a bottom of the opening and a sidewall portion over a sidewall of the opening. An adhesive layer is deposited over the bottom portion of the blocking layer. A metal layer is deposited over the adhesive layer, wherein the metal layer is in contact with the sidewall portion of the blocking layer.

Claim (Index 9):
A method, comprising:\n etching a dummy gate to form an opening; depositing a gate dielectric layer in the opening; depositing, using an anisotropic deposition process, an adhesive layer over the gate dielectric layer, wherein the anisotropic deposition process has a first deposition rate over a bottom of the opening and a second deposition rate over a sidewall of the opening, and the first deposition rate is higher than the second deposition rate; and depositing a metal layer over the adhesive layer.
