Abstract
The present application discloses a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate; a first dielectric layer positioned on the substrate; a first opening positioned along the first dielectric layer to expose the substrate; a first liner layer conformally positioned in the first opening and on a top surface of the first dielectric layer; an energy-removable layer positioned in the first opening; a second dielectric layer positioned on the first liner layer; and a second opening positioned along the second dielectric layer to expose the energy-removable layer. The second dielectric layer has etching selectivity to the first liner layer.
