Method for fabricating local interconnect

摘要

A method for fabricating a local interconnect. A gate having a gate oxide layer, a gate polysilicon layer and a cap layer is formed on a provided substrate. A spacer is formed on the sidewall of the gate, and a source/drain region is formed in the substrate. A planarized dielectric layer is formed over the substrate to expose the cap layer. A portion of the dielectric layer and the spacer on one side of the gate is removed to form an opening, so that the source/drain region is exposed. The opening is transformed into a local-interconnect opening by removing the cap layer. A local interconnect is formed by forming a conductive layer in the local-interconnect opening.
