Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes following steps. First of all, a first work function layer is formed on a substrate. Next, a first patterned photoresist layer is formed on the first work function layer. Then, the first work function layer is partially removed by using the first patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form a patterned first work function layer. Subsequently, the first patterned photoresist layer is removed by providing radical oxygen.
