Method of pulling-back sidewall metal layer
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first, a second and a third trenches extending through a dielectric layer over a substrate, forming a material layer in the first, the second and the third trenches, forming a sacrificial layer to fully fill in the remaining first and the second trenches, recessing the sacrificial layer in the first trench and the second trench, recessing the material layer in the first trench and in the second trench. After recessing the material layer, a top surface of the remaining material layer is co-planar with a top surface of the remaining sacrificial layer in the first trench and a top surface of the remaining material layer is co-planar with a top surface of the remaining sacrificial layer in the second trench. The method also includes removing the remaining sacrificial layer in the first trench and the second trench.
