Abstract: A method includes removing a dummy gate to form a gate trench. A gate dielectric layer is deposited over a bottom and sidewalls of the gate trench. A first work function metal layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer. A dummy layer is deposited over the first work function metal layer. An impurity is introduced into the dummy layer and the first work function metal layer after the dummy layer is deposited. The dummy layer is removed after the impurity is introduced into the dummy layer and the first work function metal layer. The gate trench is filled with a conductive material after the dummy layer is removed.
