METHOD FOR TUNING METAL GATE WORK FUNCTION BEFORE CONTACT FORMATION IN FIN-SHAPPED FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS

摘要

The present invention provides a method for metal gate work function tuning before contact formation in a fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET), where in the method comprises the following steps. (S1) providing a substrate having a metal gate structure on a side of the substrate, (S2) forming a titanium nitride (TiN) layer on the side of the substrate, and (S3) performing a gate annealing to tune work function of the metal gate structure.
