Abstract
A device is provided. The device includes an interfacial layer on a semiconductor device channel. The device further includes a dipole layer on the interfacial layer, and a gate dielectric layer on the dipole layer. The device further includes a first work function layer associated with a first field effect transistor device; and a second work function layer associated with a second field effect transistor device, such that the first field effect transistor device and second field effect transistor device each have a different threshold voltage than a first field effect transistor device and second field effect transistor device without a dipole layer.
