Semiconductor device and method for forming the same
The present invention provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises contact plugs that comprise a first contact plug formed by a first barrier layer arranged on the source and drain regions and a tungsten layer arranged on the first barrier layer; and second contact plugs comprising a second barrier layer arranged on both of the metal gate and the first contact plug and a conductive layer arranged on the second barrier layer. The conductivity of the conductive layer is higher than that of the tungsten layer. A method for forming the semiconductor device is also provided. The present invention provides the advantage of enhancing the reliability of the device when using the copper contact technique.
