Method for fabricating integrated circuit with different gate heights and different materials

Abstract

A method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes the following steps of: providing a substrate with at least one isolation structure formed therein so as to separate the substrate into a first active region with a first stacked structure formed thereon and a second active region with a second stacked structure formed thereon; forming an interlayer dielectric layer covering the first stacked structure and the second stacked structure; and planarizing the interlayer dielectric layer to expose the top surface of the first stacked structure, wherein the second stacked structure is still covered by the interlayer dielectric layer after planarizing.
