Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a dielectric structure over a transistor. The method includes forming a first recess in the dielectric structure. The method includes forming a first barrier layer over a first inner wall of the first recess. The first barrier layer has a first opening over a first portion of the dielectric structure, and the first barrier layer close to a first bottom surface of the first recess is thicker than the first barrier layer close to a top surface of the dielectric structure. The method includes removing the first portion through the first opening to form a second recess in the dielectric structure. The method includes forming a second barrier layer over a second inner wall of the second recess. The method includes forming a contact layer in the first opening and the second opening.
