Claim 9:
10. An integrated circuit (IC) structure, comprising:
a first source/drain (S/D) contact;
a dielectric cap on the first S/D contact;
a second S/D contact;
a gate contact, wherein the gate contact is in contact with a gate, the gate contact includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is between the second portion and the gate, the second portion is wider than the first portion, and the first portion is partially between the first S/D contact and the second S/D contact, and the first portion is partially between the dielectric cap and the second S/D contact; and
spacers adjacent to the second portion, wherein the spacers are adjacent to a dielectric material above the dielectric cap on the first S/D contact and the second S/D contact.
