A metal gate stack having a TiAlN blocking/wetting layer, and methods of manufacturing the same, are disclosed. In an example, an integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate and a gate stack disposed over the semiconductor substrate. The gate stack includes a gate dielectric layer disposed over the semiconductor substrate; a work function layer disposed over the gate dielectric layer; a multi-function wetting/blocking layer disposed over the work function layer, wherein the multi-function wetting/blocking layer is a titanium aluminum nitride layer; and a conductive layer disposed over the multi-function wetting/blocking layer. |
