In the present embodiment, the 302, second gate electrode layer 301 of the first gate electrode layer, the 3rd gate electrode layer 304 and the 4th gate electrode layer 303 material it is identical.The first grid is formed in the processing step along with Electrode layer 302, the second gate electrode layer 301, the 3rd gate electrode layer 304 and the 4th gate electrode layer 303.
Formed the 302, second gate electrode layer 301 of first gate electrode layer, the 3rd gate electrode layer 304 and The processing step of the 4th gate electrode layer 303 includes:On the surface of the first work-function layer 208 and second The surface of work-function layer 211 forms gate electrode film, and the gate electrode film top is higher than interlayer dielectric layer top table Face;Grinding removal higher than the gate electrode film at the top of interlayer dielectric layer, be correspondingly formed the first gate electrode layer 302, Second gate electrode layer 301, the 3rd gate electrode layer 304 and the 4th gate electrode layer 303.
Because the substrate of second area II does not carry out first threshold voltage regulation doping treatment, and second not only The thickness of first work-function layer 208 of region II is more than the thickness of the first work-function layer 208 of first area, So that the threshold voltage of the device of second area II formation is lower than the threshold voltage of the device that first area is formed It is many, therefore the device that the second area II device and the first area that are formed are formed has larger threshold Threshold voltage difference, so as to meet semiconductor device performance requirements.Likewise, due to the base of the 4th region IV Bottom do not carry out not only second threshold voltage regulation doping treatment, and the 4th region IV the second work-function layer 211 Thickness more than the 3rd region the second work-function layer 211 thickness so that the 4th region IV formed device Much lower than the threshold voltage of the device that the 3rd region is formed of the threshold voltage of part, therefore the 4th region The device that the device and the 3rd region that IV is formed are formed has larger threshold voltage difference, so as to meet half Conductor device performance requirement.
It should be noted that in other embodiments, additionally it is possible to using first grid technique, have described in formation First work-function layer of first thickness, the first work-function layer with second thickness, with the 3rd thickness Second work-function layer and the second work-function layer with the 4th thickness.
Although present disclosure is as above, the present invention is not limited to this.Any those skilled in the art, Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can make various changes or modifications, therefore guarantor of the invention Shield scope should be defined by claim limited range.
