Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first contact positioned on an externally accessible surface of the semiconductor device and electrically coupled with a first structure in the semiconductor device, a second contact positioned on an externally accessible surface and electrically coupled with a second structure in the semiconductor device, and an isolation structure disposed between the first contact and the second contact, the isolation structure self-aligning with a first surface of the first contact such that the first surface of the first contact is orthogonal to the externally accessible surface up to a depth and faces the second contact.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n etching a dielectric material surrounding the first contact to expose the first surface; forming the self-aligning isolation structure along the exposed first surface; and filling a second dielectric material such that the isolation structure is disposed between the first surface of the first contact and the second dielectric material.
