A semiconductor includes a channel region in a semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric film on the channel region, and a gate on the gate dielectric film. The gate includes a doped metal nitride film, formed from a nitride of a first metal and doped with a second metal which is different from the first metal, and a conductive polysilicon layer formed on the doped metal nitride film. The gate may further include a metal containing capping layer interposed between the doped metal nitride film and the conductive polysilicon layer.

Semiconductor device having different metal gate structures

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a gate insulation layer is formed on a substrate including a first channel of a first conductive type and a second channel of a second conductive type different from the first conductive type. A first conductive layer including a first metal is formed on the gate insulation layer, and a second conductive layer including a second metal different from the first metal is formed on the first conductive layer formed over the second channel. The second conductive layer is partially removed by a wet etching process to form a second conductive layer pattern over the second channel.
