MOS-varactor design to improve tuning efficiency
A gate stack structure for a MOS varactor includes a substrate including a channel region, a high-k dielectric layer on the channel region of the substrate, a P-type work function adjustment layer on the high-k dielectric layer, an N-type work function adjustment layer on the P-type work function adjustment layer, and a metal gate on the N-type work function adjustment layer. The P-type work function adjustment layer includes a first portion and a second portion laterally adjacent to each other, the first portion having a thickness greater than a thickness of the second portion. The gate stack structure in the MOS varactor can increase the tuning range of the MOS varactor.
