Abstract
The present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for manufacturing the same. The method comprises the following steps: providing a semiconductor substrate, forming sequentially a gate dielectric layer, a metal gate, a CMP stop layer, and a poly silicon layer on the semiconductor substrate; etching the gate dielectric layer, the metal gate, the CMP stop layer and the poly silicon layer to form a gate stack; forming a first interlayer dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate to cover the gate stack on the semiconductor substrate and the portions on both sides of the gate stack; performing a planarization process, such that the CMP stop layer is exposed and flushed with the upper surface of the first interlayer dielectric layer. Accordingly, the present invention further provides a semiconductor structure. Through adding the CMP stop layer, the present invention is able to effectively shorten the height of a metal gate, thus effectively reduces the capacitance between the metal gate and contact regions, and therefore optimizes the subsequent process for etching through holes.
