Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a source/drain region and spacers on a substrate. The method further includes forming an etch stop layer on the spacers and the source/drain region and forming a gate structure between the spacers. The method further includes etching back the gate structure, etching back the spacers and the etch back layer, and forming a gate capping structure on the etched back gate structure, spacers, and etch stop layer.
