    摘要: A method of forming metal gate structure includes providing a substrate; forming a gate dielectric layer, a material layer and a polysilicon layer stacked on the substrate; forming a first mask layer, a second mask layer and a patterned photoresist on the polysilicon layer; removing portions of the second mask layer and the first mask layer to form a hard mask by utilizing the patterned photoresist as an etching mask; removing the patterned photoresist, and next utilizing the hard mask as an etching mask to remove parts of the polysilicon layer and parts of the material layer. Thus, a gate stack is formed. Since the patterned photoresist is removed before forming the gate stack, the gate stack is protected from damages of the photoresist-removing process. The photoresist-removing process does not attack the sidewalls of the gate stack, so a bird's beak effect of the gate dielectric layer is prevent.

    摘要: A method of selectively removing a patterned hard mask is described. A substrate with a patterned target layer thereon is provided, wherein the patterned target layer includes a first target pattern and at least one second target pattern, and the patterned hard mask includes a first mask pattern on the first target pattern and a second mask pattern on the at least one second target pattern. A first photoresist layer is formed covering the first mask pattern. The sidewall of the at least one second target pattern is covered by a second photoresist layer. The second mask pattern is removed using the first photoresist layer and the second photoresist layer as a mask.
