Abstract:
A method provides a gate structure for a plurality of components of a semiconductor device. A silicate layer is provided. In one aspect, the silicate layer is provided on a channel of a CMOS device. A high dielectric constant layer is provided on the silicate layer. The method also includes providing a work function metal layer on the high dielectric constant layer. A low temperature anneal is performed after the high dielectric constant layer is provided. A contact metal layer is provided on the work function metal layer.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 2  wherein a third portion of the plurality of components has a third thickness of the silicate layer, the third thickness being different from the first thickness and different from the second thickness, the step of providing the silicate layer further comprising:\n depositing a third silicate layer on at least the first portion, the second portion and the third portion of the plurality of components; \n removing at least a portion of the third silicon layer from the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of components; \n wherein the step of depositing the first silicate layer includes depositing the first silicate layer on the third portion of the plurality of components; \n wherein the step of removing the at least a portion of the first silicate layer from the first portion of the plurality of components is performed such that the first silicate layer remains on the third portion of the plurality of components; and \n wherein the step of providing a second silicate layer on the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of components also provides the second silicate layer on the third portion of the plurality of components.
