Abstract:
A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a gate structure, a gate spacer, a source/drain structure, a contact structure, a glue layer and a barrier layer. The gate structure is positioned over a fin structure. The gate spacer is positioned over the fin structure and on a sidewall surface of the gate structure. The source/drain structure is positioned in the fin structure and adjacent to the gate spacer. The contact structure is positioned over the source/drain structure. The glue layer covers a bottom surface and a sidewall surface of the contact structure. The barrier layer encircles the sidewall surface of the contact structure. A bottom surface of the glue layer is exposed to the barrier layer.

Claim (Index 17):
The semiconductor structure as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising:\n a gate spacer over the fin structure and on a sidewall surface of the gate structure; and a contact etch stop layer (CESL) over the source/drain structure and the gate spacers, wherein the gate spacer and the CESL are separated from the contact structure by the barrier layer, and wherein the band gap values of the gate spacer, the CESL and the glue layer are less than the band gap value of the barrier layer.
