Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming a gate structure over a fin that protrudes above a substrate; forming source/drain regions over the fin on opposing sides of the gate structure; forming a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer successively over the source/drain regions; performing a first etching process to form an opening in the first dielectric layer and in the second dielectric layer, where the opening exposes an underlying electrically conductive feature; after performing the first etching process, performing a second etching process to enlarge a lower portion of the opening proximate to the substrate; and forming a contact plug in the opening after the second etching process.
