A method includes forming a dummy gate structure over a wafer. Gate spacers are formed on either side of the dummy gate structure. The dummy gate structure is removed to form a gate trench between the gate spacers. A gate dielectric layer is formed in the gate trench. A gate electrode is formed over the gate dielectric layer. Forming the gate dielectric layer includes applying a first bias to the wafer. With the first bias turned on, first precursors are fed to the wafer. The first bias is turned off. After turning off the first bias, second precursors are fed to the wafer. |
