A method of forming a contact is provided. A substrate having at least two conductive devices is provided. A spacing is located between the two conductive devices. A first dielectric layer is formed over the substrate to cover the two conductive devices and the spacing. A seam is formed in the first dielectric layer within the spacing. Then, a portion of the first dielectric layer is removed to form an opening so that the width of the seam is expanded. A second dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer to fill the opening. A portion of the second dielectric layer and a portion of the first dielectric layer within the spacing are removed until a portion of the surface of the substrate is exposed and a contact opening is formed in the location for forming the contact. Finally, conductive material is deposited to fill the contact opening.
