Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a gate dielectric layer is formed over a channel region, a first conductive layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer, a shield layer is formed over the first conductive layer forming a bilayer structure, a capping layer is formed over the shield layer, a first annealing operation is performed after the capping layer is formed, the capping layer is removed after the first annealing operation, and a gate electrode layer is formed after the capping layer is removed.
