Various embodiments provide complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices and fabrication methods. An exemplary CMOS device can be formed by providing a first dummy gate over a semiconductor substrate in a first region, providing a second dummy gate over the semiconductor substrate in a second region, and amorphizing a surface portion of the first dummy gate to form a first amorphous silicon layer. The first amorphous silicon layer can be used to protect the first dummy gate in the first region, when a second opening is formed in the second region by wet etching at least the second dummy gate. A second metal gate can then be formed in the second opening, followed by removing the first amorphous silicon layer and at least the first dummy gate to form a first opening in the first region. A first metal gate can be formed in the first opening.
