    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming first and second semiconductor structures on a semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor structure includes a first gate channel region having a first gate length, and the second semiconductor structure including a second gate channel region having a second gate length that is greater than the first gate length. The method further includes depositing a work function metal layer in each of a first gate void formed at the first gate channel region and a second gate void formed at the second gate channel region. The method further includes depositing a semiconductor masking layer on the work function metal layer, and simultaneously etching the silicon masking layer located at the first and second gate channel regions to re-expose the first and second gate voids. A low-resistive metal is deposited in the first and second gate voids to form low-resistive metal gate stacks.
