Abstract:
A first and a second instance of a common structured stack are formed, respectively, on a first fin and a second fin. The common structured stack includes a work-function metal layer, and a barrier layer. The barrier layer of the first instance of the common structured stack is etched through, and the work-function metal layer of the first instance of the common structure is partially etched. The partial etch forms a thinner work-function metal layer, having an oxide of the work-function metal as a new barrier layer. A gate element is formed on the new barrier layer.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein the second Ge concentration is higher than the first Ge concentration, and wherein based on the second Ge concentration being higher than the first Ge concentration, the threshold voltage of the second PMOS FinFET is lower than the threshold voltage of the first PMOS FinFET.
