Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a gate dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a gate material layer on the gate dielectric layer, and removing part of the gate material layer and part of the gate dielectric layer to form a gate electrode, in which a top surface of the gate dielectric layer adjacent to two sides of the gate electrode is lower than a top surface of the gate dielectric layer between the gate electrode and the substrate. Next, a first mask layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode, part of the first mask layer and part of the gate dielectric layer are removed to form a first spacer, a second mask layer is formed on the substrate and the gate electrode, and part of the second mask layer is removed to form a second spacer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a gate stack structure. The method comprises providing a substrate. A dielectric layer is then formed on the substrate and a gate trench is formed in the dielectric layer. A bottom barrier layer, a first work function metal layer and a top barrier layer are formed in the gate trench in sequence. Afterwards, a silicon formation layer is formed on the top barrier layer and filling the gate trench. A planarization process is performed, to remove a portion of the silicon formation layer, a portion of the bottom barrier layer, a portion of the first work function metal layer, and a portion of the top barrier layer. Next, the remaining silicon formation layer is removed completely, and a conductive layer is filled in the gate trench.
