Abstract

A method of manufacturing a gate structure includes at least the following steps. A gate dielectric layer is formed. A work function layer is deposited on the gate dielectric layer. A barrier layer is formed on the work function layer. A metal layer is deposited on the barrier layer to introduce fluorine atoms into the barrier layer. The barrier layer is formed by at least the following steps. A first TiN layer is formed on the work function layer. A top portion of the first TiN layer is converted into a trapping layer, and the trapping layer includes silicon atoms or aluminum atoms. A second TiN layer is formed on the trapping layer.
