Abstract

The present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor device, as well as a semiconductor device. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, among others, includes providing a gate structure (240) over a substrate (210), the gate structure (240) including a gate electrode (248) located over a nitrided gate dielectric (243), and forming a nitrided region (310) over a sidewall of the nitrided gate dielectric (243).
