Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming gate structures spaced apart from each other on a substrate, gate spacers covering sidewalls of the gate structures, and an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate spacers, forming a contact hole that penetrates the interlayer insulating layer to expose a sidewall of at least one of the gate spacers, forming a sacrificial gap-fill pattern filling a lower portion of the contact hole, forming a contact spacer on a sidewall of the contact hole having the sacrificial gap-fill pattern, and forming a contact filling the contact hole after removing the sacrificial gap-fill pattern.
