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 2):
The method of  claim 1  A method for providing a gate structure for a plurality of components of a semiconductor device, the method comprising\n providing a silicate layer, wherein a first portion of the plurality of components has a first thickness of the silicate layer and wherein a second portion of the plurality of components has a second thickness of the silicate layer, the second thickness being different from the first thickness, the step of providing the silicate layer further comprising\n depositing a first silicate layer on at least the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of components; \n removing at least a portion of the first silicate layer from the first portion of the plurality of components; and \n providing a second silicate layer on the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of components; \n \n providing a high dielectric constant layer on the silicate layer; \n providing a work function metal layer on the high dielectric constant layer; \n performing a low temperature anneal after the step of providing the high dielectric constant layer; and \n providing a contact metal layer on the work function metal layer.
