Abstract

A method of forming a metal oxide layer includes at least the following steps. A substrate is provided in a process chamber of a deposition apparatus, where the substrate has a target layer formed thereon. A first gas and a second gas are introduced into the process chamber through a shower head of the deposition apparatus, so as to form a metal oxide film on the target layer, where the shower head is coated with a hydrophobic film. A patterned photoresist layer is formed on the metal oxide film. The metal oxide film is patterned by using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, so as to form a patterned metal oxide film. The target layer is patterned by using the patterned metal oxide film as a mask.
