Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate; forming a gate structure on the substrate, the gate structure extending along a first direction; removing a portion of the gate structure to form a trench in the gate structure, the trench penetrating through the gate structure along a second direction which is different form the first direction; performing a first cleaning treatment process on the trench to remove non-metal residues; and performing a second cleaning treatment process on the trench to remove metal residues.
