    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods of forming replacement gate structures. In one example, the method includes forming a sacrificial gate structure above a semiconducting substrate, removing the sacrificial gate structure to thereby define a gate cavity, forming a layer of insulating material in the gate cavity and forming a layer of metal within the gate cavity above the layer of insulating material. The method further includes forming a sacrificial material in the gate cavity so as to cover a portion of the layer of metal and thereby define an exposed portion of the layer of metal, performing an etching process on the exposed portion of the layer of metal to thereby remove the exposed portion of the layer of metal from within the gate cavity, and, after performing the etching process, removing the sacrificial material and forming a conductive material above the remaining portion of the layer of metal.
