A method of removing a dummy gate dielectric layer is provided. Firstly a first plasma containing F is utilized to remove the dummy dielectric layer which contains Si and O. Then a second plasma containing H2 is utilized to remove fluorine compound on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Since the fluorine residue formed after the first plasma treatment reacts with the second plasma to form a gaseous product HF, the fluorine element can be taken away from the semiconductor device with the HF, which prevents inversion layer offset and gate current leakage occurred in the subsequent processing steps due to the fluorine element.

The present disclosure discloses a battery protection circuit and a method thereof for protecting a battery pack. The battery protection circuit comprises a hardware protection circuit, a software protection circuit and a current detecting circuit. When the battery pack is not in the active status, the hardware protection circuit is used to execute a protective operation; and when the battery pack is in the active status, the software protection circuit is used to execute the protective operation. Furthermore, the hardware protection circuit is electrically connected to the software protection circuit to detect a status of the software protection circuit. When the battery pack is in the active status, the software protection circuit is used to execute the protective operation, and when the software protection circuit is in an abnormal status, the hardware protection circuit is used instead to execute the protective operation.
