Abstract: At least one method, apparatus, and system providing semiconductor devices comprising a first gate having a first width and comprising a first work function metal (WFM); a first liner disposed over the first WFM; a first gate metal having a first height; and a first pinch-off spacer over the first WFM, the first liner, and the first gate metal to above the first height; and a second gate having a second width greater than the first width, and comprising a second WFM; a second liner disposed over the second WFM; a second gate metal having substantially the first height; and a first conformal spacer over the second WFM and the second liner.

Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods for forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A gate cavity is formed in a dielectric layer that includes a bottom surface and a plurality sidewalls that extend to the bottom surface. A gate dielectric layer is formed at the sidewalls and the bottom surface of the gate cavity. A work function metal layer is deposited on the gate dielectric layer at the sidewalls and the bottom surface of the gate cavity. A fill metal layer is deposited inside the gate cavity after the work function metal layer is deposited. The fill metal layer is formed in direct contact with the work function metal layer.
