Provided is a transistor device, and a process for fabricating such a device, in which a top portion of a polysilicon gate electrode is removed and replaced by a low resistance metal material using a damascene process. Gate electrodes in accordance with the present invention provide improved conductivity over conventional polysilicon and silicide-capped polysilicon gate electrodes, due to the low resistivity of the metal, but do not have the drawbacks associated with the complete removal and replacement of polysilicon with a metal.
