Abstract:
A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, at least one first gate structure, at least one first spacer, at least one source drain structure, and a conductive plug. The first gate structure is present on the substrate. The first spacer is present on at least one sidewall of the first gate structure. The source drain structure is present adjacent to the first spacer. The conductive plug is electrically connected to the source drain structure while leaving a gap between the conductive plug and the spacer.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:\n forming a dielectric layer on at least one gate structure and at least one source drain structure; forming an opening in the dielectric layer to expose the source drain structure; forming a protection layer on at least one sidewall of the opening; forming a conductive plug in the opening, wherein the conductive plug is electrically connected to the source drain structure; and removing the protection layer after the forming the conductive plug.
