Gate structures having neutral zones to minimize metal gate boundary effects and methods of fabricating thereof are disclosed herein. An exemplary metal gate includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The second portion is disposed between the first portion and the third portion. The first portion includes a first gate dielectric layer, a first p-type work function layer, and a first n-type work function layer. The second portion includes a second gate dielectric layer and a second p-type work function layer. The third portion includes a third gate dielectric layer, a third p-type work function, and a second n-type work function layer. The second p-type work function layer separates the first n-type work function layer from the second n-type work function layer, such that the first n-type work function layer does not share an interface with the second n-type work function layer.
