Abstract

See full text

Structures and formation methods of a semiconductor device structure are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate and a spacer element over a sidewall of the gate stack. The spacer element is substantially free of oxygen. The semiconductor device structure also includes a dielectric layer over the semiconductor substrate, and the dielectric layer surrounds the gate stack and the spacer element. The semiconductor device structure further includes a conductive contact penetrating through the dielectric layer and electrically connected to a conductive feature over the semiconductor substrate. An angle between a sidewall of the conductive contact and a top surface of the spacer element is in a range from about 90 degrees to about 120 degrees, and the conductive contact covers a portion of the spacer element.
