Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a gate structure on the substrate, in which the gate structure includes a high-k dielectric layer on the substrate and a bottom barrier metal (BBM) layer on the high-k dielectric layer. Preferably, the BBM layer includes a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion, the middle portion being a nitrogen rich portion, the top portion and the bottom portion being titanium rich portions, and the top portion, the middle portion, and the bottom portion are of same material composition.
