A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes the following operations. A first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a passivation layer are successively formed on a semiconductor substrate. The passivation layer and the second conductive layer are patterned to form a primary gate pattern. A portion of the first conductive layer that is not covered by the primary gate pattern, is exposed. The primary gate pattern is subjected with plasma treatment to form a first protective layer. A dielectric layer is formed. The exposed portion of the first conductive layer is removed to retain a portion of the first conductive layer covered by the primary gate pattern. A second protective layer is formed on a side wall of the exposed portion of the first conductive layer.
