Abstract

See full text

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a semiconductor structure having an open portion over a substrate, forming a sacrificial spacer on sidewalls of the open portion, forming a recessed first plug in the open portion, forming an air gap by removing the sacrificial spacer, forming a capping layer to expose the top surface of the recessed first plug and to cap the air gap, forming a protective layer over the capping layer and the recessed first plug, forming an ohmic contact layer over the protective layer, and forming a second plug over the ohmic contact layer.
