There is disclosed a method of applying stress to a channel region underneath a gate of a field-effect-transistor, which includes the gate, a source region, and a drain region. The method includes steps of embedding stressors in the source and drain regions of the FET; forming a stress liner covering the gate and the source and drain regions; removing a portion of the stress liner, the portion of the stress liner being located on top of the gate of the FET; removing at least a substantial portion of the gate of a first gate material and thus creating an opening therein; and filling the opening with a second gate material.
