Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor device comprises forming a first channel region comprising a first channel region material and a second channel region comprising a second channel region material; disposing a gate dielectric on the first channel region and second channel region; depositing a work function modifying material on the gate dielectric; disposing a mask over the work function modifying material deposited on the gate dielectric disposed on the first channel region; removing the work function modifying material from the unmasked gate dielectric disposed on the second channel region; removing the mask from the work function modifying material deposited on the gate dielectric disposed on the first channel region; forming a first gate electrode on the work function modifying material deposited on the first channel region and forming a second gate electrode on the gate dielectric disposed on the second channel region.
