A fabricating method of a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A gate material layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A patterned mask layer is formed on the gate material layer. The pattern mask layer includes at least one opening exposing a part of the gate material layer. An impurity treatment is performed to the gate material layer partially covered by the pattern mask layer for forming at least one doped region in the gate material layer. An etching process is performed to remove the gate material layer including the doped region. A dummy gate may be formed by patterning the gate material layer, and the impurity treatment may be performed after the step of forming the dummy gate. The performance of the etching processes for removing the gate material layer and/or the dummy gate may be enhanced, and the gate material residue issue may be solved accordingly.
