Abstract:
A contact structure and a method for forming the contact structure are provided. The contact structure includes an insulating layer formed on a substrate. The contact structure includes a conductive element formed on the substrate and in the insulating layer. The contact structure includes a first liner formed in the insulating layer and on sidewalls of an upper portion of the conductive element. The contact structure includes a second liner formed on the sidewalls of the conductive element. A conductive contact plug is formed by the second liner and the conductive element. At the upper portion of the conductive element, the second liner is interposed between the conductive element and the first liner. At the lower portion of the conductive element, the second liner is interposed between the conductive element and the insulating layer.

Claim (Index 4):
The contact structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional profile of the conductive contact plug comprises:\n a first portion extending downward from a top surface of the conductive contact plug; a second portion extending upward from a bottom surface of the conductive contact plug; and a third portion formed between and adjoining the first portion and the second portion, wherein the third portion tapers toward the first portion.
