Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate, the substrate including a first trench in an NMOS region and a second trench in a PMOS region. The method also includes depositing a high-K dielectric layer, a cap layer, and a P-type work function metal layer on the bottom and side walls of the first trench and the second trench, removing the P-type work function metal layer and the cap layer from the bottom and sidewalls of the first trench, depositing an N-type work function metal layer on the high-K dielectric layer in the first trench and on the P-type work function metal layer in the second trench, and depositing a metal electrode layer on the N-type work function metal layer.
