A gate electrode ( 202 ) for a transistor including a metal gate structure ( 207 ) containing zirconium and a polycrystalline silicon cap ( 209 ) located there over. The metal gate structure ( 207 ) is located over a gate dielectric ( 205 ). The zirconium inhibits diffusion of silicon from the cap to the metal gate structure and gate dielectric. In one embodiment, the gate dielectric is a high K dielectric.
