Abstract

A method for fabricating a dual metal gate structure for a semiconductor device including deposition of a semiconductor substrate having PMOS and NMOS regions, a first gate having a first insulating layer and a first metal layer is formed in a first region. The first region is either the PMOS or NMOS region, and the remaining region becomes a second region. A dummy gate is formed in the second region. A spacer and a source/drain region are formed for each of the first and dummy gates. The dummy gate, however, is removed to expose a portion of the substrate in the second region. A second gate constructed of a second gate insulating layer and a second metal layer is then formed on the exposed portion of the substrate in the second region.
