Abstract

A method of fabricating a gate electrode of a CMOS device is disclosed including the steps of: sequentially forming a gate insulating layer, first conductive layer and protective layer on a semiconductor substrate; selectively etching a predetermined portion of the protective layer in which a PMOS transistor will be formed; forming a second conductive layer on the overall surface of said substrate; removing the second conductive layer formed on the protective layer, and partially etching the protective layer to a predetermined thickness; and patterning the second conductive layer, the protective layer, the first conductive layer and the gate insulating layer using a gate electrode pattern.
