Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes depositing a high-k dielectric layer within a first recess located between sidewall spacers of a first CMOS device and within a second recess located between sidewall spacers of a second CMOS device. A dummy titanium nitride layer is deposited on the high-k dielectric layer. Next, the high-k dielectric layer and the dummy titanium nitride layer are removed from the second recess in the second CMOS device. A silicon cap layer is deposited within the first recess and the second recess, the silicon cap layer is located above the high-k dielectric layer and dummy titanium nitride layer in the first CMOS device. Subsequently, dopants are implanted into the silicon cap layer located in the second recess of the second CMOS device.
