Patent 8013401 was granted and assigned to Intel on September, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method for carrying out a replacement metal gate process comprises providing a transistor in a reactor, wherein the transistor includes a gate stack, removing at least a portion of the gate stack to expose a surface of a barrier layer, causing a temperature of the reactor be less than or equal to 150° C., introducing methylpyrrolidine:alane (MPA) proximate to the surface of the barrier layer, and carrying out a CVD process to deposit aluminum metal on the barrier layer using a bottom-up deposition mechanism.
