A tantalum alloy layer is employed as a work function metal for field effect transistors. The tantalum alloy layer can be selected from TaC, TaAl, and TaAlC. When used in combination with a metallic nitride layer, the tantalum alloy layer and the metallic nitride layer provides two work function values that differ by 300 mV~500 mV, thereby enabling multiple field effect transistors having different threshold voltages. The tantalum alloy layer can be in contact with a first gate dielectric in a first gate, and the metallic nitride layer can be in contact with a second gate dielectric having a same composition and thickness as the first gate dielectric and located in a second gate.
