A method for forming a gate structure begins by preparing a semiconductor substrate provided with an isolation region formed therein. An aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layer is deposited on top of the semiconductor substrate and then, silicon ions plasma doping is carried out. Thereafter, the Al2O3 layer doped with silicon ions is annealed in the presence of oxygen gas or nitrous oxygen to remove a metallic vacancy in the Al2O3 layer. Subsequently, a conductive layer is formed on top of the Al2O3 layer. Finally, the conductive layer is patterned into the gate structure.
