Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of manufacture are provided. In some embodiments a treatment process is utilized to treat a work function layer. The treatment prevents excessive oxidation of the work function layer during subsequent processing steps, such as application of a subsequent photoresist material, thereby allowing the work function layer to be thinner than otherwise.
