SEMICONDOCTOR STRUCTURE WITH GATE ELECTRODE DOPING

Abstract:

Semiconductor devices including structures of gate electrode layers are disclosed. An example semiconductor device according to the disclosure includes a semiconductor substrate and first and second gate electrodes above the semiconductor substrate. Each gate electrode of the first and second gate electrodes includes a gate insulator above the semiconductor substrate, a first gate electrode layer on the gate insulator, and a second gate electrode layer on the first gate electrode layer. The second gate electrode layers of the first and second gate electrodes have impurity concentrations that are different from one another.
