A method for forming borderless contact capable of reducing junction leakage current by forming a deep junction in the source/drain region nearest the borderless contact to eliminate most of the leakage current. The method includes the steps of first forming a shallow trench isolation structure for isolating devices in a semiconductor substrate. In the subsequent step, an ion implantation is carried out implanting ions at a small tilt angle to form source/drain regions such that source/drain region nearest to the shallow trench isolation structure has a deep junction. Finally, a borderless opening is formed above the source/drain region and the shallow trench isolation structure, and then conductive material is deposited into the borderless opening to form the borderless contact.
