Abstract:
A method for adjusting a threshold voltage includes depositing a strained liner on a gate structure to strain a gate dielectric. A threshold voltage of a transistor is adjusted by controlling an amount of strain in the liner to control an amount of work function (WF) modulating species that diffuse into the gate dielectric in a channel region. The liner is removed.

Claim (Index 20):
The method as recited in  claim 11 , wherein the two or more liners are employed to adjust threshold voltages across a same device wherein the device includes a chip.
