Abstract
Embodiments provide a method for fabricating a contact structure and a contact structure. The method for fabricating a contact structure includes: providing a substrate, and sequentially arranging a first polysilicon layer and a first mask layer on a surface of the substrate; performing a first etching process on the first polysilicon layer and the first mask layer to form a stepped structure where a width of the first mask layer is smaller than a width of the first polysilicon layer; performing a second etching process on the substrate by using the first polysilicon layer as a mask to form a trench; depositing a second polysilicon layer in the trench, a top of the second polysilicon layer being not higher than a bottom of the first mask layer; and performing an annealing process to form the contact structure.
