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 12):
A method comprising:\n forming a gate structure over a substrate, the gate structure comprising spacers on sidewalls of a gate electrode and a mask layer over the gate electrode; forming a source drain structure on the substrate adjacent the gate structure; forming a first dielectric layer on the gate structure and the source drain structure; forming an opening in the first dielectric layer to expose the source drain structure; lining the opening with a second dielectric layer; patterning the second dielectric layer to expose the source drain structure; forming a conductive plug on the second dielectric layer in the opening, the conductive plug contacting the source drain structure; and removing the second dielectric layer between the conductive plug and the gate structure.
