    Abstract: Methods of facilitating gate height uniformity by controlling recessing of dielectric material and semiconductor devices formed from the methods are provided. The methods include, for instance, forming a transistor of the semiconductor device with an n-type transistor and a p-type transistor, the n-type transistor and the p-type transistor including plurality of sacrificial gate structures and protective masks at upper surfaces of the plurality of sacrificial gate structures; providing a dielectric material over and between the plurality of sacrificial gate structures; partially densifying the dielectric material to form a partially densified dielectric material; further densifying the partially densified dielectric material to create a modified dielectric material; and creating substantially planar surface on the modified dielectric material, to control dielectric material recess and gate height.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for forming semiconductor devices with a protection layer for a dielectric mask layer are provided. One method includes, for instance; obtaining a substrate having at least one of a dielectric layer and a metal layer; forming a first SiCN dielectric mask layer on a top surface of at least one of the dielectric layer and a metal layer; and forming a silicon nitride (SiNx) cap layer on a top surface of the first SiCN dielectric mask layer. One intermediate semiconductor device includes, for instance: a substrate having at least one of a dielectric layer and a metal layer; a first SiCN dielectric mask layer on a top surface of at least one of the dielectric layer and a metal layer; and a silicon nitride (SiNx) cap layer on a top surface of the first SiCN dielectric mask layer.
