An improved method of forming a fully silicided (FUSI) gate in both NMOS and PMOS transistors of the same MOS device is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises forming oxide and nitride etch-stop layers over a top portion of the gates of the NMOS and PMOS transistors, forming a blocking layer over the etch-stop layer, planarizing the blocking layer down to the etch-stop layer over the gates, and removing a portion of the etch-stop layer overlying the gates. The method further includes implanting a preamorphizing species into the exposed gates to amorphize the gates, thereby permitting uniform silicide formation thereafter at substantially the same rates in the NMOS and PMOS transistors. The method may further comprise removing any remaining oxide or blocking layers, forming the gate silicide over the gates to form the FUSI gates, and forming source/drain silicide in moat areas of the NMOS and PMOS transistors.
