Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate containing a first active region in a first region of the substrate and a second active region in a second region of the substrate, a plurality of first gate structures over the first active region each including a first gate stack having a first high-k gate dielectric and a first gate electrode and first gate spacers surrounding the first gate stack, and a plurality of second gate structures over the second active region each including a second gate stack having a second high-k gate dielectric and a second gate electrode and second gate spacers surrounding the second gate stack. At least a portion of the second gate electrode comprises dopants.
