Embodiments include a device and method of forming a device, such as a nano-FET transistor, including a first nanostructure. A gate dielectric is formed around the first nanostructure. A gate electrode is formed over the gate dielectric, and the gate electrode includes a first work function metal. In the gate electrode, a first metal residue is formed at an interface between the gate dielectric and the first work function metal as a result of a treatment process performed prior to forming the first work function metal. The first metal residue has a metal element that is different than a metal element of the first work function metal.
