Abstract
In one aspect, a CMOS device is provided. The CMOS device includes a SOI wafer having a SOI layer over a BOX; one or more active areas formed in the SOI layer in which one or more FET devices are formed, each of the FET devices having an interfacial oxide on the SOI layer and a gate stack on the interfacial oxide layer, the gate stack having (i) a conformal gate dielectric layer present on a top and sides of the gate stack, (ii) a conformal gate metal layer lining the gate dielectric layer, and (iii) a conformal workfunction setting metal layer lining the conformal gate metal layer. A volume of the conformal gate metal layer and/or a volume of the conformal workfunction setting metal layer present in the gate stack are/is proportional to a length of the gate stack.
