Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a gate stack over a substrate. The method includes forming a spacer structure over a sidewall of the gate stack. The method includes forming a source/drain structure in and over the substrate, wherein a portion of the spacer structure is between the source/drain structure and the gate stack. The method includes partially removing the outer layer, wherein a first lower portion of the outer layer remains between the source/drain structure and the gate stack. The method includes partially removing the middle layer, wherein a second lower portion of the middle layer remains between the source/drain structure and the gate stack.
