Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises: providing a substrate having an active area and a gate structure on the active area and formed with a first interlayer dielectric layer thereon, wherein the first interlayer dielectric layer has a first open to expose a portion of a surface of the active area, and an upper surface of the first interlayer dielectric layer is substantially flush with an upper surface of the gate; filling the first open with a first conductive material to form a first portion of contact; forming a second interlayer dielectric layer over the first interlayer dielectric layer, the second interlayer dielectric layer having a second open to substantially expose an upper part of the first portion of the contact in the first open; and filling the second open with a second conductive material to form a second portion of the contact.
