Abstract

A gate structure is first formed on a substrate and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer is formed around the gate structure, a dielectric layer is formed on the ILD layer and the gate structure, an opening is formed in the dielectric layer and the ILD layer, and an organic dielectric layer (ODL) is formed on the dielectric layer and in the opening. After removing part of the ODL, part of the dielectric layer to extend the opening, and then the remaining ODL, a contact plug is formed in the opening.
