A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes providing a substrate including a dummy gate structure formed thereon, removing the dummy gate structure to form a trench, forming a first metal layer over the substrate to fill a portion of the trench, forming a protection layer in a remaining portion of the trench, removing a unprotected portion of the first metal layer, removing the protection layer from the trench, and forming a second metal layer over the substrate to fill the trench. |
