Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A substrate having a dielectric layer thereon is provided. The dielectric layer has a gate trench therein and a gate dielectric layer is formed on a bottom of the gate trench. A work function metal layer and a top barrier layer are sequentially formed in the gate trench. A treatment is performed to the top barrier layer so as to form a silicon-containing top barrier layer. A low-resistivity metal layer is formed in the gate trench.
