Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device, the method including: providing a substrate with at least one fin or nanowire; forming a dummy gate; providing spacers on the at least one fin or nanowire and the dummy gate; performing a first RMG module wherein high-k material is provided on at least one fin or nanowire, between the spacers; one or more annealing steps; providing a sacrificial plug between the spacers; epitaxially growing a source and drain in the at least one fin or nanowire; removing the sacrificial plug; performing a second RMG module wherein a WFM is deposited between at least part of the spacers such that the WFM is covering the high-k material of the at least one fin or nanowire.
