Abstract

Formation methods of a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes forming a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate and forming a source/drain structure adjacent to the gate stack. The method also includes forming a cap element over the source/drain structure. The cap element has a top surface and a side surface, and a width ratio of the top surface to the side surface of the cap element is in a range from about 0.125 to about 1.
