Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure, a first source/drain region, a second source/drain region, first source/drain contact and a first dielectric spacer liner. The gate structure is over the semiconductor substrate. The first source/drain region and the second source/drain region are in the semiconductor substrate and respectively on opposite sides of the gate structure. The first source/drain contact is over the first source/drain region. The first dielectric spacer liner lines a sidewall of the first source/drain contact and extends into the first source/drain region.
