Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a gate assembly disposed on a device isolation layer, a gate spacer disposed on a side surface of the gate assembly, a contact assembly disposed on the gate spacer, an air gap disposed between the device isolation layer and the contact assembly, and a first spacer capping layer disposed between the gate spacer and the air gap. The first spacer capping layer has an etch selectivity with respect to the gate spacer.
