Abstract

There is provided a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same. The method comprises: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a transistor structure on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the transistor structure comprises a gate region and a source/drain region, and the gate region comprises a gate dielectric layer provided on the semiconductor substrate and a sacrificial gate formed on the gate dielectric layer; depositing a first interlayer dielectric layer, and planarizing the first interlayer dielectric layer to expose the sacrificial gate; removing the sacrificial gate to form a replacement gate hole; forming first contact holes at positions corresponding to the source/drain region in the first interlayer dielectric layer; and filling a first conductive material in the first contact holes and the replacement gate hole respectively to form first contacts and a replacement gate, wherein the first contacts come into contact with the source/drain region. Thereby, the replacement gate and the first contacts can be made in one same step of depositing the same material, and thus the process flows are simplified.
