Abstract
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: providing a substrate having a memory region defined thereon; forming a trench in the substrate; forming a barrier layer in the trench; forming a conductive layer on the barrier layer; performing a first etching process to remove part of the conductive layer; and performing a second etching process to remove part of the barrier layer. Preferably, the second etching process comprises a non-plasma etching process.
