Abstract

A method for fabricating dual material gate structures in a device is provided. The dual material gate structures have different gate electrode materials in different regions of the device. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a patterned first gate electrode and a patterned first gate dielectric layer disposed on the substrate, removing a portion of the first gate electrode from the substrate to define a trench on the substrate, and filling the trench to form a second gate electrode.
