Abstract: Multi-gate devices and methods for fabricating such are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes forming a gate dielectric layer around first channel layers in a p-type gate region and around second channel layers in an n-type gate region. Sacrificial features are formed between the second channel layers in the n-type gate region. A p-type work function layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer in the p-type gate region and the n-type gate region. After removing the p-type work function layer from the n-type gate region, the sacrificial features are removed from between the second channel layers in the n-type gate region. An n-type work function layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer in the n-type gate region. A metal fill layer is formed over the p-type work function layer in the p-type gate region and the n-type work function layer in the n-type gate region.
