Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and more specifically relates to a complementary field effect transistor with a double work function metal gate and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique
[0002] The so-called work function refers to the responsiveness of all conductive materials in the semiconductor to the applied energy, which is usually expressed in electron volts (eV). The work function of a material usually refers to the minimum energy required to just move an electron from the interior of a solid to the surface. Different materials have different Fermi energies and electronic structures, so different amounts of energy need to be applied to remove an electron.
[0003] Typically, conventional semiconductor materials have been selectively doped, resulting in N-type or P-type materials. N-type semiconductor materials have a Fermi level closer to the conduction band of silicon than to the valence band o...
