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.
