Disclosed is a formation method of a
semiconductor device. The method comprises: providing a
semiconductor substrate, and forming an isolation structure in the substrate, wherein the isolation structure isolates the substrate to a first active area and a second active area, and the types of the first active area and the second active area are opposite; forming a high-k
dielectric layer and a conducting layer on the high-k
dielectric layer on the substrate, defining the conducting layer disposed in the first active area as a first conducting layer, and defining the conducting layer disposed on the second active area as a second conducting layer; carrying out
work function adjustment on the first conducting layer and / or the second conducting layer; and after the
work function adjustment is carried out, patterning the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer and the high-k
dielectric layer, and forming a first grid
electrode disposed in the first active area, a first high-k
dielectric layer disposed below the first grid
electrode, a second grid
electrode disposed in the second active area and a second high-k
dielectric layer disposed below the second grid electrode. According to the invention, the
work function adjustment is carried out on the first conducting layer and / or the second conducting layer, an
etching process is unnecessary, and the high-k
dielectric layer is not damaged.
