Abstract
A self aligned contact (SAC) pad in a semiconductor device and a method for forming thereof wherein an SAC opening is formed concurrently with single-layer gate spacers. After formation of the stacked gate pattern having a gate electrode and a capping layer disposed thereon, an insulating layer for gate spacers is deposited thereon. An interlayer insulating layer then is deposited over the insulating layer. The interlayer insulating layer has an etch selectivity with respect to the capping layer and insulating layer. SAC then are opened in the interlayer insulating layer while concurrently forming single-layer gate spacers.
