    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor device includes forming a gate stack that include a gate electrode and a spacer layer extending along a sidewall of the gate electrode; forming a source/drain (S/D) feature that is adjacent to the gate stack; forming a dielectric layer over the gate stack and the S/D feature; forming a contact hole in the dielectric layer to expose the S/D feature, wherein the contact hole includes a first sidewall that is formed by the spacer layer and part of the dielectric layer; doping an upper portion of the first sidewall; and performing an etching process thereby cleaning oxides in the contact hole.
