Abstract

A semiconductor device structure and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate structure embedded in a first dielectric layer over a substrate and a second dielectric layer formed over the first dielectric layer. The semiconductor device structure includes a conductive feature formed in the second dielectric layer over the gate structure and a first structure formed at least two sides of the conductive feature in the second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is made of a compressive material and the first structure is made of a tensile material or wherein the first dielectric layer is made of a compressive material and the first structure is made of a tensile material.
