Abstract
The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device and a method for preparing the semiconductor device. The method includes forming a first conductive layer over a substrate, forming a first dielectric structure over the first conductive layer, transforming a sidewall portion of the first conductive layer into a first transformed portion, removing the first transformed portion such that a width of the first dielectric structure is greater than a width of a remaining portion of the first conductive layer, and forming an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer covering sidewalls of the first dielectric structure such that a first air spacer is formed between the ILD layer and the remaining portion of the first conductive layer.
