Abstract
The present application discloses a semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate including an array area and a peripheral area; and a peripheral gate structure including: a peripheral gate dielectric layer inwardly positioned in the peripheral area of the substrate and including a U-shaped cross-sectional profile; a peripheral gate conductor including a bottom portion positioned on the peripheral gate dielectric layer and a neck portion positioned on the bottom portion; and a peripheral gate capping layer positioned on the peripheral gate dielectric layer and the bottom portion, and surrounding the neck portion. A top surface of the peripheral gate capping layer and a top surface of the neck portion are substantially coplanar.
