Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a base substrate; a first well region and a second well region in the base substrate; a gate electrode structure, sidewall spacers, a doped source layer and a doped drain layer over the base substrate; a dielectric layer on the base substrate; and an isolation layer in the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer covers sidewalls of the sidewall spacers, the doped source layer and the doped drain layer, and exposes a top surface of the gate electrode structure. The isolation layer is in the gate electrode structure of the second well region and the base substrate of the second well region, and adjacent to the sidewalls of the sidewall spacer over the second well region.
