Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack over the substrate, wherein the gate stack has a first portion and a second portion under the first portion, and the first portion is wider than the second portion. The semiconductor device structure includes a first spacer and a second spacer over opposite sides of the gate stack. The first spacer has a first upper portion and a first lower portion, the second spacer has a second upper portion and a second lower portion. The first spacer has a first recess, the first upper portion is between the first recess and the gate stack, the first lower portion is under the first recess, and the first recess has a first inner wall facing away from the gate stack.
