Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device including a first fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET). The first FinFET includes a first gate structure over a first semiconductor fin and the first gate structure includes a first work function layer. The first work function layer includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a bar-shaped structure, the second layer has a U-shaped structure encapsulating sidewalls and a bottom surface of the first layer, and the first layer and the second layer include different materials. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device is also provided.
