Disclosed is a method for fabricating a semiconductor device with a polymetal gate electrode formed by a partial gate recessing process. The method includes the steps of forming a gate structure including a gate dielectric layer, a polysilicon layer, a metal layer, an etch stop layer and a sacrificial layer sequentially formed on a substrate; selectively performing a re-oxidation process to the gate structure; forming a spacer on each sidewall of the gate structure; implanting ions in the substrate for forming source/drain regions; selectively removing the sacrificial layer of the gate structure to form a recess; and filling an insulating hard mask into the recess for use in a self-aligned contact etching process.
