Abstract

A method for manufacturing multi-gate transistor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a patterned semiconductor layer and a patterned hard mask sequentially formed thereon, removing the patterned hard mask, performing a thermal treatment to rounding the patterned semiconductor layer with a process temperature lower than 800° C., and sequentially forming a gate dielectric layer and a gate layer covering a portion of the patterned semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate.
