ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a first doped region and a second doped region, providing a dielectric over the first doped region and the second doped region, and forming a first gate stack over the dielectric over at least a portion of the first doped region. The first gate stack includes a metal portion over the dielectric, a first in situ doped semiconductor portion over the metal portion, and a first blocking cap over the in situ doped semiconductor portion. The method further includes performing implantations to form source/drain regions adjacent the first and second gate stack, where the first blocking cap has a thickness sufficient to substantially block implant dopants from entering the first in situ doped semiconductor portion. Source/drain embedded stressors are also formed.
