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 14):
A method, comprising:\n etching a dummy gate to form an opening; depositing a gate dielectric layer in the opening; depositing a first blocking layer over the gate dielectric layer, wherein the first blocking layer has a bottom portion over a bottom of the opening and a sidewall portion over a sidewall of the opening; depositing an adhesive layer over the bottom portion of the first blocking layer, wherein the sidewall portion of the first blocking layer is at least partially free from coverage by the adhesive layer; and depositing a metal layer over the adhesive layer.
