Abstract

A fin field effect transistor device structure includes a fin structure formed over a substrate. The fin field effect transistor device structure also includes a source/drain epitaxial structure formed over the fin structure. The fin field effect transistor device structure also includes a contact structure with a concave top surface formed over the source/drain epitaxial structure. The fin field effect transistor device structure also includes a barrier layer conformally wrapped around the contact structure. The fin field effect transistor device structure also includes a via structure formed over the contact structure. The concave top surface of the contact structure is below the top surface of the barrier layer.
