Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a gate dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a barrier layer over the gate dielectric layer; treating the barrier layer to roughen an outer surface of the barrier layer, resulting in a treated barrier layer; and forming a metal layer over the treated barrier layer.

Claim (Index 16):
The semiconductor structure of  claim 12 , wherein:\n the metal layer includes aluminum and titanium; and the barrier layer includes aluminum and one of titanium nitride and tantalum nitride, wherein the gate stack further includes aluminum between the barrier layer and the gate dielectric layer.
