Abstract

A method of fabricating a MOS device comprises steps as follows: An interfacial layer, a high-k dielectric layer and a cover layer on a substrate are sequentially formed. Then an in-situ wet etching step is performed by sequentially using a first etching solution to etch the cover layer and using a second etching solution to etch the high-k dielectric layer and the interfacial layer until the substrate is exposed, wherein the second etching solution is a mixed etching solution containing the first etching solution.
