Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate, the high-k gate dielectric layer including a nitrided surface that has been subjected to a nitriding treatment or an oxidized surface that has been subjected to an oxidizing treatment, forming a metal gate on the nitrided surface of the high-k gate dielectric layer to form an NMOS transistor, or forming a metal gate on the oxidized surface of the high-k gate dielectric layer to form a PMOS transistor.

Claim (Index 13):
A semiconductor device comprising a transistor on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the transistor comprises:\n a high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate; a metal gate on the high-k gate dielectric layer; wherein the high-k gate dielectric layer has a nitrided surface when the transistor is an NMOS transistor; or wherein the gate dielectric layer has an oxidized surface when the transistor is a PMOS transistor.
