  • Patent number: 11756839
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a MOS transistor includes following. A gate stack structure and a hardmask layer on the gate stack structure are sequentially formed on a substrate. A first spacer is formed on sidewalls of the gate stack structure and the hardmask layer. A photoresist layer is formed on a sidewall of the first spacer. A top surface of the photoresist layer is higher than a top surface of the gate stack structure. The hardmask layer and a portion of the first spacer are removed to expose the top surface of the gate stack structure. A top surface of a remaining first spacer is higher than the top surface of the gate stack structure. The photoresist layer is removed. A second spacer is formed on a sidewall of the remaining first spacer. A top surface of the second spacer is higher than the top surface of the gate stack.
