| 简介 |
The present disclosure relates to methods for forming a gate stack in a MOSFET device and to MOSFET devices obtainable through such methods. In exemplary methods described herein, a rare-earth-containing layer is deposited on a layer of a silicon-containing dielectric material. Before these layers are annealed, a gate electrode material is deposited on the rare-earth-containing layer. Annealing is performed after the deposition of the gate electrode material, such that a rare earth silicate layer is formed. |
