AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. An etching stop layer is formed in a contact opening for integrating manufacturing steps of different contact structures, which simplifies the process and improves manufacturing yield. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a gate structure, a source / drain region, a contact opening, an etching stop layer, an interlayer dielectric layer, and a first contact structure. The manufacturing method includes forming a substrate with a gate structure, source / drain region, and contact opening, depositing an etching stop layer on the gate structure, source / drain region, and contact opening, depositing an interlayer dielectric layer on the etching stop layer, and partially forming the contact opening in the interlayer dielectric layer. The technical effects include simplifying the manufacturing process, improving yield, and enhancing reliability of the semiconductor device.

Problems solved by technology

However, as the structure of the circuits becomes complicated, contact structures corresponding to different parts and / or having different uses may have to pass through different material layers and / or have different depths, which complicates the process of forming the contact structure and influences the manufacturing yield.
