Abstract

A transistor includes a semiconductor substrate includes having a gate hardmask over the gate electrode layer during the formation of transistor source/drain regions. An independent work function adjustment process implants Group IIIa series dopants into a gate polysilicon layer of a PMOS transistor and implants lanthanide series dopants into a gate polysilicon layer of a NMOS transistor.
