Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to contact structures and methods of manufacture. The method includes: recessing an isolation region between adjacent gate structures and below metallization overburden of source/drain metallization; planarizing the metallization overburden to a level of the adjacent gate structures; and forming source/drain contacts to the source/drain metallization, on sides of and extending above the adjacent gate structures.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein the forming of the source/drain contacts comprises:\n depositing dielectric material in the recess and above the adjacent gate structures and the other gate structures; forming openings in the dielectric material, exposing the source/drain metallization between the adjacent gate structures and the other gate structures; and depositing metal material within the opening, contacting the source/drain metallization.
