Abstract

Field effect transistor and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The field effect transistor includes a gate electrode, a contact etch stop layer (CESL), an inter layer dielectric (ILD) and a protection layer. The CESL includes SiCON and is disposed on a sidewall of the gate electrode. The IDL is laterally adjacent to the gate electrode. The protection layer covers the CESL and is disposed between the CESL and the ILD.
