Abstract

A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an ILD layer on the semiconductor substrate, a gate in the ILD layer, an offset liner on a sidewall of the gate, a spacer on the offset liner, a dense oxide film on the spacer, a contact etch stop layer on the dense oxide film, and a contact plug adjacent to the contact etch stop layer. The semiconductor device further includes a source region in the semiconductor substrate and a drain region spaced apart from the source region. A channel is located between the source region and the drain region.
