Abstract

A method and structure that provides a pre-deposition process (eg, of a work function layer) to accomplish work function tuning. In various embodiments, a gate dielectric layer is formed over the substrate, and a work function metal layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer. The work function metal layer has a first thickness. Then, a pretreatment process of the work function metal layer may be implemented, wherein the pretreatment process removes the oxidized layer from the top surface of the work function metal layer to form a treated work function metal layer. The treated work function metal layer has a second thickness less than the first thickness. In various embodiments, after performing the pretreatment process, another metal layer is deposited over the treated work function metal layer. Embodiments of the present invention relate to an atomic layer deposition method and its structure.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an atomic layer deposition method and its structure. Background technique [0002] The electronics industry has experienced an ever-increasing demand for smaller and faster electronic devices capable of simultaneously supporting more functions of increasing complexity and sophistication. Accordingly, there is a continuing trend in the semiconductor industry to manufacture low cost, high performance, low power integrated circuits (ICs). To date, these goals have been largely achieved by scaling down semiconductor IC dimensions (eg, minimum feature size), thereby increasing production efficiency and reducing associated costs. However, this scaling down also creates an increased complexity of the semiconductor fabrication process. Accordingly, achieving continued advances in semiconductor ICs and devices requires similar advances in semiconductor manufacturing processes and technologies. [0003] For examp...
