A method for forming a gate and a method for etching a conductive layer are provided. First, a substrate is provided, including a dielectric layer and a conductive layer on its surface in order. Subsequently, a patterned silicon nitride layer is formed on the conductive layer as a hard mask, and the hydrogen concentration of the patterned silicon nitride layer is more than 1022 atoms/cm3. Thereafter, the conductive layer and the dielectric layer are etched utilizing the hard mask as a mask. Finally, an etching solution is utilized to remove the hard mask.
