Abstract: A method of forming a gate includes the following steps. A gate structure is formed on a substrate. An etch stop layer is formed on the gate structure and the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed to cover the etch stop layer. The dielectric layer is planarized to form a planarized top surface of the dielectric layer and expose a portion of the etch stop layer on the gate structure. An oxygen containing treatment is performed to form an oxygen containing layer on the exposed etch stop layer. A deposition process is performed to form an oxide layer covering the planarized top surface of the dielectric layer and the oxygen containing layer.

Abstract: A fabricating method of transistors includes providing a substrate with numerous transistors thereon. Each of the transistors includes a gate structure. A gap is disposed between gate structures adjacent to each other. Later, a protective layer and a first dielectric layer are formed in sequence to cover the substrate and the transistors and to fill in the gap. Next, numerous buffering particles are formed to contact the first dielectric layer. The buffering particles do not contact each other. Subsequently, a second dielectric layer is formed to cover the buffering particles. After that, a first planarization process is performed to remove part of the first dielectric layer, part of the second dielectric layer and buffering particles by taking the protective layer as a stop layer, wherein a removing rate of the second dielectric layer is greater than a removing rate of the buffering particles during the first planarization process.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure. A memory structure is formed on a substrate in the memory array region. A dielectric layer is deposited over the memory array region and peripheral region to cover the memory structure. A reverse etching process is performed to remove part of the dielectric layer from the central area of the memory array region, thereby forming an upwardly protruding wall structure along perimeter of the memory array region. The remaining thickness of the dielectric layer in the central area is equal to the sum of a polishing buffer thickness and a target thickness. A first polishing process is performed to remove the upwardly protruding wall structure from the memory array region. A second polishing process is performed to remove upper portion of the dielectric layer with the polishing buffer thickness from the memory array region.
