Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon; forming an epitaxial layer on the fin-shaped structure; forming a first contact etch stop layer (CESL) on the epitaxial layer; forming a source/drain region in the epitaxial layer; and forming a second CESL on the first CESL.
