The invention provides a method for forming a contact hole, comprising: forming a gate, a sidewall spacer, a sacrificial sidewall spacer, a source region and a drain region on a substrate, wherein the sidewall spacer is formed around the gate, the sacrificial sidewall spacer is formed over the sidewall spacer, and the source region and the drain region are formed within the substrate and on respective sides of the gate; forming an interlayer dielectric layer, with the gate, the sidewall spacer and the sacrificial sidewall spacer being exposed; removing the sacrificial sidewall spacer to form a contact space, a material that the sacrificial sidewall spacer is made of being different from any of materials that the gate, the sidewall spacer and the interlayer dielectric layer are made of; forming a conducting layer to fill the contact space; and cutting off the conducting layer, to form at least two conductors connected to the source region and the drain region respectively. The invention also provides a contact hole, the contact hole a gate and a sidewall spacer being formed on a substrate and within an interlayer dielectric layer, wherein the sides of the contact hole meet the sidewall spacer. The invention also provides a semiconductor device and a method for forming the same. With the technical solutions provided by the invention, the number of masks used can be reduced.
