Patent ID: 11233061

Abstract:
Semiconductor device and method of forming a semiconductor device are provided. A substrate is provided, and first gate structures and source/drain doped layers are formed on the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, covering the first gate structures and source/drain doped layers. A first groove is formed in the dielectric layer exposing the source/drain doped layer. The first groove includes a first-groove bottom part and a first-groove top part. The first-groove top part is larger than the first-groove bottom part, and a sidewall of the first-groove top part is recessed more into the dielectric layer with respect to a sidewall of the first-groove bottom part. A first conductive structure is formed in the first-groove bottom part, and an insulating layer is formed in the first-groove top part. A second conductive structure, connected to the first gate structure, is formed in the dielectric layer.
