Enabling anneal for reliability improvement and multi-Vt with interfacial layer regrowth suppression

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming an interfacial layer and a dielectric layer on a base structure and around channels of a first gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAA FET) device within a first region and a second GAA FET device within a second region, forming at least a scavenging metal layer in the first and second regions, and performing an anneal process after forming at least one cap layer.
