Abstract

A method of fabricating a dual gate electrode CMOS device having dual gate electrodes. An N+ poly gate is used for the nMOSFET and a metal gate is used for the pMOSFET. The N+ nMOSFET poly gate may be capped with a highly conductive metal to reduce its gate resistance. A sacrificial cap is used for the N+ poly gate to eliminate a mask level for the dual gate electrodes.
