Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, a plurality of first nanostructures, a plurality of second nanostructures, two tensile epitaxial structures, two compressive epitaxial structures, and a dielectric layer over the substrate. The method includes forming a gate dielectric layer over the first nanostructures and the second nanostructures. The method includes forming a first work function metal layer over the gate dielectric layer over the first nanostructures. The method includes forming a second work function metal layer over the gate dielectric layer over the second nanostructures. The method includes forming a compressive gate electrode layer over the first work function metal layer using an atomic layer deposition process or a chemical vapor deposition process. The method includes forming a tensile gate electrode layer over the second work function metal layer using a physical vapor deposition process.
