Abstract
A method for fabricating a gate structure. The method involves providing a substrate, followed by forming a nitride region on a surface of the substrate. With a Tantalum (Ta)-based organic compound and a Titanium (Ti)-based organic compound serving as precursors, an organic metal chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD) is performed, so that a Ta,Ti,O,dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. A barrier layer, a conducting layer, and an anti-reflection (AR) layer are then formed in sequence on the Ta,Ti,O,dielectric layer. Subsequently, the AR layer, the conducting layer, the barrier layer, and the Ta,Ti,O,dielectric layer are defined to form a gate structure on the substrate of the nitride region. The Ta-based organic compound in this case may include a Ta-alkoxide compound, whereas the Ti-based organic compound may include a Ti-alkoxide compound or a Ti-amide compound.
