Abstract

Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In one example, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming an interlayer of dielectric oxide material in a FET region and overlying a semiconductor substrate. A high-K dielectric layer is deposited overlying the interlayer. Fluorine is incorporated into the interlayer and/or the high-K dielectric layer.
