Abstract

A HKMG device with PMOS eSiGe source/drain regions is provided. Embodiments include forming first and second HKMG gate stacks on a substrate, forming a nitride liner and oxide spacers on each side of each HKMG gate stack, performing halo/extension implants at each side of each HKMG gate stack, forming an oxide liner and nitride spacers on the oxide spacers of each HKMG gate stack, forming deep source/drain regions at opposite sides of the second HKMG gate stack, forming an oxide hardmask over the second HKMG gate stack, forming embedded silicon germanium (eSiGe) at opposite sides of the first HKMG gate stack, and removing the oxide hardmask.
