Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a first semiconductor fin arranged on a substrate, the first semiconductor fin having a first channel region, and a second semiconductor fin arranged on the substrate, the second semiconductor fin having a second channel region. A first gate stack is arranged on the first channel region. The first gate stack comprises a first metal layer arranged on the first channel region, a work function metal layer arranged on the first metal layer, and a work function metal arranged on the work function metal layer. A second gate stack is arranged on the second channel region, the second gate stack comprising a work function metal arranged on the second channel region.
