High-K metal gate process for lowering junction leakage and interface traps in NMOS transistor

摘要

A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming an interfacial layer on the substrate; forming a high-k dielectric layer on the interfacial layer; forming a first bottom barrier metal (BBM) layer on the high-k dielectric layer; performing a thermal treatment; removing the first BBM layer; and forming a second BBM layer on the high-k dielectric layer.
