Abstract

The present application provides a method for increasing the process window to avoid bridging between the device's contact hole and gate, including: placing a semiconductor structure containing a gate structure in a reaction cavity, wherein reaction gases fed sequentially into the reaction cavity include the first reaction gas containing Si and Cl, a second reaction gas containing C and a third reaction gas containing O. Thus, a first film containing Cl is formed on the sidewalls of the gate structure. Further, a fourth reaction gas containing H is fed into the reaction cavity, after the fourth reaction gas completes reaction with Cl in the first film, a second film is formed on the sidewalls of the gate. A fifth gas containing N is then fed into the reaction cavity, which reacts with the second film to form a third film on the spacer of the gate structure.
