A device includes a gate stack formed over a channel in a semiconductor substrate. The gate stack includes a layer of gate insulator material, a layer of gate metal overlying the layer of gate insulator material, and a layer of contact metal overlying the layer band edge gate metal. The device further includes source and drain contacts adjacent to the channel. The source and drain contacts each include a layer of the gate metal that overlies and is in direct electrical contact with a doped region of the semiconductor substrate, and a layer of contact metal that overlies the layer of gate metal.
