A method for fabricating a metal gate includes the following steps. First, a substrate having an interfacial dielectric layer above the substrate is provided. Then, a gate trench having a barrier layer is formed in the interfacial dielectric layer. A source layer is disposed above the barrier layer. Next, a process is performed to have at least one element in the source layer move into the barrier layer. Finally, the barrier layer is removed and a metal layer fills up the gate trench.

A method for forming a transistor having a metal gate is provided. A substrate is provided first. A transistor is formed on the substrate. The transistor includes a high-k gate dielectric layer, an oxygen containing dielectric layer disposed on the high-k gate dielectric layer, and a dummy gate disposed on the oxygen containing dielectric layer. Then, the dummy gate and the patterned gate dielectric layer are removed. Lastly, a metal gate is formed and the metal gate directly contacts the high-k gate oxide.

A method for sensing and analyzing data with surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices comprises the steps of: propagating a sampling signal at a fundamental frequency through a SAW device coated for selective adsorption; measuring at least one parameter of at least one higher order harmonic of the fundamental frequency sampling signal; exposing the coated SAW device to enable the selective adsorption; measuring the at least one parameter of the at least one higher order harmonic of the fundamental frequency sampling signal after the exposing step; comparing the measurements of the at least one parameter of the at least one higher order harmonic before and after the exposing step; and, deriving a result of the selective adsorption based upon the comparing step. The at least one parameter is harmonic power and harmonic frequency. The at least one higher order harmonic is one or more odd harmonics.
