Abstract:
An exemplary semiconductor device includes first spacers disposed along sidewalls of a first gate structure and second spacers disposed along sidewalls of a second gate structure. A source/drain region is disposed between the first gate structure and the second gate structure. A first ILD layer is disposed between the first spacers and the second spacers. A portion of the first ILD layer has a first recessed upper surface. A dielectric layer is disposed over the first spacers, the second spacers, and the first recessed upper surface of the first ILD layer. A portion of the dielectric layer has a second recessed upper surface that is disposed over the portion of the first ILD layer having the first recessed upper surface. A second ILD layer is disposed over the dielectric layer. A contact extends through the second ILD layer, the dielectric layer, and the first ILD layer to the source/drain region.

Claim (Index 19):
The semiconductor device of  claim 13 , wherein the contact extends through the portion of the first interlevel dielectric layer having the first recessed upper surface and the portion of the dielectric layer having the second recessed upper surface.
