Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A method of forming a semiconductor die, the method comprising:
disposing an insulation layer on a substrate;
disposing a gate spacer in the insulation layer;
disposing a gate between the gate spacer;
disposing a first dielectric gate layer on the gate between the gate spacer;
disposing a second dielectric gate layer on the first dielectric gate layer between the gate spacer;
forming a gate contact coupled to the gate and in contact with the first dielectric gate layer and the second dielectric gate layer;
forming a source/drain contact having a single inner spacer; and
disposing a local interconnect on the source/drain contact, wherein the local interconnect is in contact with the second dielectric gate layer and wherein the gate is not in contact with the second dielectric gate layer.
