Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure with a channel stack includes forming a screening layer under a gate of a PMOS transistor element and a NMOS transistor element, forming a threshold voltage control layer on the screening layer, and forming an epitaxial channel layer on the threshold control layer. At least a portion of the epitaxial channel layers for the PMOS transistor element and the NMOS transistor element are formed as a common blanket layer. The screening layer for the PMOS transistor element may include antimony as a dopant material that may be inserted into the structure prior to or after formation of the epitaxial channel layer.
