A wafer has a trench, a STI layer formed in the trench, an HfO2-containing gate dielectric covering the wafer and the STI layer, a gate electrode formed on the HfO2-containing gate dielectric, and at least a spacer formed beside the gate electrode. The wafer is preheated and a bromine-rich gas plasma is provided to remove portions of the HfO2-containing gate dielectric.
