A multi-step gate structure comprises a semiconductor substrate having a multi-step structure, a gate oxide layer positioned on the multi-step structure and a conductive layer positioned on the gate oxide layer. Preferably, the gate oxide layer has different thicknesses on each step surface of the multi-step structure. In addition, the multi-step gate structure further comprises a plurality of doped regions positioned in the semiconductor substrate under the multi-step structure. The channel length of the multi-step gate structure is the summation of the lateral width and the vertical depth of the multi-step gate structure, which is dramatically increased such that problems originated from the short channel effect can be effectively solved. Further, the plurality of doped regions under the multi-step structure are prepared by implanting processes having different dosages and dopants, which can control the thickness of the gate oxide layer and the threshold voltage of the multi-step gate structure.
