Abstract
In an embodiment, a semiconductor device is provided, which includes a first doped gate dielectric layer and a second doped gate dielectric layer, wherein the first doped gate dielectric layer and the second doped gate dielectric layer comprise a high-k material doped with a dipole dopant. The second doped gate dielectric layer has a second concentration of the first dipole dopant. The concentration of the dipole dopant in the first doped gate dielectric layer is greater than the concentration, and the concentration peak of the dipole dopant in the first doped gate dielectric layer is deeper than the concentration peak of the dipole dopant in the second doped gate dielectric layer. A first gate electrode over the first doped gate dielectric layer, and a second gate electrode over the second doped gate dielectric layer, the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode have a same width.
