Transistor devices are formed with a pMOS and an nMOS workfunction stack of substantially equal thickness after gate patterning. Embodiments include forming n-type and p-type areas in a substrate, forming a pMOS workfunction metal stack layer on both areas, forming a hardmask layer on the pMOS workfunction metal stack layer on the n-type area, removing the pMOS workfunction metal stack layer from the p-type area, forming an nMOS workfunction metal stack layer on the p-type area and on the hardmask layer, and removing the nMOS workfunction metal stack layer from the hardmask layer.
