Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a conductive plug. The method includes forming a first conductive structure over a substrate; forming a first dielectric structure over the first conductive structure; transforming a sidewall portion of the first conductive structure into a first dielectric portion; and removing the first dielectric portion such that a width of the first dielectric structure is greater than a width of a remaining portion of the first conductive structure.
