1. A method comprising:
providing a substrate; and
forming a first stack over the substrate, wherein the forming the first stack includes:
forming a dielectric layer over the substrate;
forming a first layer including a halogen and a metal over the dielectric layer; and
forming a metal layer over the first layer;
forming a second stack over the substrate, wherein the forming the second stack includes:
forming a second layer including a halogen and a metal over the substrate and the first layer; and
forming a second metal layer over the second layer; wherein the second layer is characterized as being of a different composition than the first layer.
