Abstract:
A FinFET device structure is provided. The FinFET device structure includes a gate structure formed over a fin structure and an S/D contact structure formed over the fin structure. The FinFET device structure also includes an S/D conductive plug formed over the S/D contact structure, and the S/D conductive plug includes a first barrier layer and a first conductive layer. The FinFET device structure includes a gate contact structure formed over the gate structure, and the gate contact structure includes a second barrier layer and a second conductive layer. The FinFET device structure includes a first isolation layer surrounding the S/D conductive plug, and the first barrier layer is between the first isolation layer and the first conductive layer. A second isolation layer surrounding the gate contact structure, and the second barrier layer is between the second isolation layer and the second conductive layer.

Claim (Index 20):
The method for forming fin field effect transistor (FinFET) device structure as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein removing the portion of the isolation material comprises:\n forming a void over a top surface of the first isolation layer, wherein the void is filled with the first barrier layer, such that the first barrier layer is formed on sidewall surfaces and on the top surface of the first isolation layer.
