A semiconductor device having a dual gate electrode and a method of
forming the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a
substrate including first and second regions. A first gate electrode
formed of a first metal silicide is disposed on the substrate of the
first region. A second gate electrode is disposed on the substrate of the
second region. The second gate electrode is formed of a second metal
silicide including a metal the same as that of the first metal silicide.
A gate insulating layer is interposed between the substrate and the first
gate electrode, and between the substrate and the second gate electrode.
The gate insulating layer brings about a Fermi pinning effect increasing
or decreasing intrinsic work functions of the first and second metal
silicides. In this case, the first metal silicide is a lower silicon
concentration than the second metal silicide so that the Fermi pinning
effect provided to the first gate electrode is less effective than that
provided to the second gate electrode.
