Abstract:
Generally, the present disclosure provides example embodiments relating to tuning threshold voltages in transistor devices and the transistor devices formed thereby. Various examples implementing various mechanisms for tuning threshold voltages are described. In an example method, a gate dielectric layer is deposited over an active area in a device region of a substrate. A dipole layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer in the device region. A dipole dopant species is diffused from the dipole layer into the gate dielectric layer in the device region.

Claim (Index 10):
A structure comprising:\n a first transistor on a substrate, the first transistor comprising:\n a first gate dielectric layer over a first active area, the first gate dielectric layer being doped with a dipole dopant species at a first dipole dopant concentration; and \n a first gate over the first gate dielectric layer; and \n a second transistor on the substrate, the second transistor comprising:\n a second gate dielectric layer over a second active area, the second gate dielectric layer being doped with a dipole dopant species at a second dipole dopant concentration, the first dipole dopant concentration being greater than the second dipole dopant concentration; and \n a second gate over the second gate dielectric layer.
