Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A substrate is provided, and the substrate has a first region. A barrier layer is then formed on the first region of the substrate. A first work function layer is formed on the barrier layer. An upper half portion of the first work function layer is converted into a non-volatile material layer. The non-volatile material layer is removed and a lower half portion of the first work function layer is kept.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of forming the semiconductor device according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate further comprises a second region, and the method of forming the semiconductor device further comprises:\n forming the barrier layer on the second region of the substrate; forming the first work function layer on the barrier layer on the second region of the substrate; forming a wok function material layer on the first work function layer on the first region of the substrate and the lower half portion of the first work function layer on the second region; and removing the work function material layer on the first region for forming a second work function layer.
