A method for fabricating a T-shaped gate electrode includes the steps of: forming a fine gate pattern on a semiconductor substrate; forming an insulating layer on the semiconductor substrate on which the gate pattern is formed, and forming a planarizing layer on the insulating layer to planarize the surface of the semiconductor substrate; etching the planarizing layer to expose the top of the insulating layer; isotropically etching the insulating layer to expose the gate pattern using the planarizing layer as a mask; etching the exposed gate pattern to selectively expose the semiconductor substrate; depositing a gate metal to cover the exposed substrate, the insulating layer and the planarizing layer, to form a T-shaped gate; and simultaneously removing the planarizing layer, thereby forming a T-shaped gate metal with improved productivity.
