A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes: a base substrate having an opening; and a first gate layer formed in the opening. In the first gate layer closes a top of the opening and the first gate layer includes at least one void. The semiconductor structure further includes a second gate layer formed on the first gate layer. An atomic radius of the material of the second gate layer is smaller than gaps among atoms of the material of the first gate layer and the void is filled by atoms of one of the material of the first gate layer and the material of the second gate layer.

Semiconductor structure and fabrication method

Semiconductor structures and fabrication methods are provided. An exemplary fabrication method includes providing a base substrate having an opening and forming a first gate layer in the opening. The first gate layer closes a top of the opening and includes a void. The method also includes forming a second gate layer on the first gate layer. An atomic radius of a material of the second gate layer is smaller than gaps among the atoms of the material of the first gate layer. Further, the method includes performing a thermal annealing process to cause atoms of the material of the second layer to pass through the first gate layer to fill the void.
