Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for fabricating a semiconductor structure including sidewall spacers. An example semiconductor structure includes: a gate structure, a first sidewall spacer, and a second sidewall spacer. The gate structure is formed over a substrate. The first sidewall spacer is adjacent to the gate structure, a top part of the first sidewall spacer including a first dielectric material, a bottom part of the first sidewall spacer including a second dielectric material. The second sidewall spacer is adjacent to the first sidewall spacer, the second sidewall spacer including a third dielectric material.
