Method of fabricating semiconductor structure

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure, and the method includes following steps. A gate structure is formed on a substrate, and a liner layer is formed to cover the gate structure and the substrate. A spacer layer is formed on the liner layer, and an etching gas is continuously provided to remove a portion of the spacer layer while maintaining the substrate at a second pressure, which the etching gas has a first pressure. The second pressure is greater than the first pressure.
