Abstract:
A method for forming a gaseous spacer in a semiconductor device and a semiconductor device including the gaseous spacer are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method may include forming a gate stack over a substrate, depositing a first gate spacer on sidewalls of the gate stack, epitaxially growing source/drain regions on opposite sides of the gate stack, and depositing a second gate spacer over the first gate spacer to form a gaseous spacer below the second gate spacer. The gaseous spacer may be disposed laterally between the source/drain regions and the gate stack.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gaseous spacer has a thickness of between 2 nm and 10 nm.
