A semiconductor fabrication method. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure which includes (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, and (iii) a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is sandwiched between and electrically insulates the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode region. The semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric layer share a common interfacing surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interfacing surface and pointing from the semiconductor layer to the gate dielectric layer. Next, a resist layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode region. Next, a cap portion of the resist layer directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction is removed without removing any portion of the resist layer not directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction.
