Abstract:
A fabricating method of a transistor is provided. A patterned sacrificed layer is formed on a substrate, wherein the patterned sacrificed layer includes a plurality of openings exposing the substrate. By using the patterned sacrificed layer as a mask, a doping process is performed on the substrate, thereby forming a doped source region and a doped drain region in the substrate exposed by the openings. A selective growth process is performed to form a source and a drain on the doped source region and the doped drain region, respectively. The patterned sacrificed layer is removed to expose the substrate between the source and the drain. A gate is formed on the substrate between the source and the drain.

The masking layer and the oxidized copper layer are removed by a wet etching process, to form a copper plug in the via opening and a copper wire line on the copper plug. A copper interconnect structure is also disclosed.
