Abstract
The present invention provides a method of forming an integrated circuit including a substrate, a first transistor, a second transistor and a third transistor. The first transistor has a first metal gate including a first bottom barrier layer, a first work function metal layer and a first metal layer. The second transistor has a second metal gate including a second bottom barrier layer, a second work function metal layer and a second metal layer. The third transistor has a third metal gate including a third bottom barrier layer, a third work function metal layer and a third metal layer. The first transistor, the second transistor and the third transistor has the same conductive type. A nitrogen concentration of the first bottom barrier layer>a nitrogen concentration of the second bottom barrier layer>a nitrogen concentration of the third bottom barrier layer.
