Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a gate structure having a metal gate on the substrate, and a contact member extending into the metal gate. The contact member includes a first region on the metal gate and a second region on the first region. The first region has a cross-sectional size larger than a cross-sectional size of the second region. The semiconductor device has a reduced contact resistance between the contact member and the metal gate.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the gate structure comprises:\n a gate dielectric layer on the substrate; a first barrier layer on the gate dielectric layer; an N-type work function layer on the first barrier layer; a second barrier layer on the N-type work function layer; and a metal gate on the second barrier layer.
