Abstract
An integrated circuit device and method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device are disclosed. An exemplary method includes providing a substrate; forming a first gate over the substrate for a first device having a first threshold voltage characteristic, the first gate including a first material having a first-type work function; forming a second gate over the substrate for a second device having a second threshold voltage characteristic that is greater than the first threshold voltage characteristic, the second gate including a second material having a second-type work function that is opposite the first-type work function; and configuring the first device and the second device as a same channel type device.
