Abstract
Methods for forming a multi-threshold voltage device on a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, the method of forming a multi-threshold voltage device may include (a) providing a substrate having a first layer disposed thereon, wherein the substrate comprises a first feature and a second feature disposed within the first layer; (b) depositing a blocking layer atop the substrate; (c) selectively removing a portion of the blocking layer from atop the substrate to expose the first feature; (d) selectively depositing a first work function layer atop the first feature; (e) removing a remainder of the blocking layer to expose the second feature; and (f) depositing a second work function layer atop the first work function layer and the second feature.
