Abstract
A device includes a semiconductor channel region and a gate structure. The semiconductor channel region is on a substrate. The gate structure is over the semiconductor channel region and comprises a gate dielectric layer, a first gate conductor layer, and a second gate conductor layer. The first gate conductor layer is over the gate dielectric layer. The first gate conductor layer includes oxygen. The second gate conductor layer is over the first gate conductor layer.
