Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate having a metal gate thereon and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the metal gate; removing part of the metal gate to form a recess; and depositing a mask layer in the recess and on the ILD layer while forming a void in the recess.
