Abstract
A semiconductor device including a first gate structure associated with a first type of transistor and a second gate structure of a second type of transistor. The first gate structure includes a capping layer, a first metal layer having a first type of work function on the capping layer, and a second metal layer having a second type of work function, overlying the first metal layer and a fill layer on the second metal layer. The second type of work function is different than the first type of work function. The second gate structure includes the gate dielectric and the second metal layer formed on the gate dielectric, and the fill layer on the second metal layer.
