1. A method comprising:
removing a dummy gate to form a gate trench in a gate structure, wherein the gate structure includes a first transistor region that corresponds with a first transistor, a second transistor region that corresponds with a second transistor, and a boundary region disposed between the first transistor region and the second transistor region;
forming a gate dielectric layer in the gate trench in the first transistor region, the second transistor region, and the boundary region;
forming a p-type work function layer in the gate trench over the gate dielectric layer in the first transistor region, the second transistor region, and the boundary region, wherein the p-type work function layer has a first thickness in the first transistor region, a second thickness in the second transistor region, and a third thickness in the boundary region, wherein the p-type work function layer and the gate dielectric layer fill the gate trench in the boundary region; and
forming an n-type work function layer in the gate trench over the p-type work function layer in the first transistor region and the second transistor region.
