1. A semiconductor device structure, comprising:
a first gate spacer and a second gate spacer formed over a semiconductor substrate, longitudinally extending along a first direction, and separated from each other by a gate electrode layer;
a first insulating layer longitudinally extending along a second direction to pass through the gate electrode layer, the first gate spacer and the second gate spacer; and
a gate dielectric layer having a top surface covered by the gate electrode layer;
wherein a top width of the gate dielectric layer is less than a top width of the gate electrode layer,
wherein the first gate spacer, the second gate spacer, and the first insulating layer have a first hydrophobic surface, a second hydrophobic surface, and a third hydrophobic surface, respectively, and
wherein the first hydrophobic surface, the second hydrophobic surface, and the third hydrophobic surface are in direct contact with a first sidewall surface, a second sidewall surface, and a third sidewall surface of the gate electrode layer, respectively.
