Abstract: A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) with a gate structure having a deuterated layer is provided. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a transistor comprises the deuterated layer formed over a gate dielectric layer. A gate electrode is formed over the deuterated layer. The deuterated layer prevents or reduces dopant penetration into a substrate from the gate electrode. The deuterated layer may be, for example, formed by a thermal process in an ambient of a deuterated gas, such as deuterated ammonia. The deuterated layer may also be formed by a nitridation process using deuterated ammonia.

Abstract: An n-FET and a p-FET each have elevated source/drain structures. Optionally, the p-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from a p-FET recess formed in the substrate. Optionally, the n-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from an n-FET recess formed in the substrate. The n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures are both silicided, even though the structures may have different materials and/or different structure heights. At least a thermal treatment portion of the source/drain structure siliciding is performed simultaneously for the n-FET and p-FET elevated source/drain structures. Also, the p-FET gate electrode, the n-FET gate electrode, or both, may optionally be silicided simultaneously (same metal and/or same thermal treatment step) with the n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures, respectively; even though the gate electrodes may have different materials, different silicide metal, and/or different electrode heights. The silicides formed on n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures preferably do not extend below a top surface of the substrate more than about 250 angstroms; and the structure heights may be selected to provide this.
