Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method of manufacture are provided. In an embodiment a first contact is formed to a source/drain region and a dielectric layer is formed over the first contact. An opening is formed to expose the first contact, and the opening is lined with a dielectric material. A second contact is formed in electrical contact with the first contact through the dielectric material.

Claim (Index 1):
A device comprising:\n a fin extending from a substrate; a first transistor comprising a first channel region in the fin, a first gate stack over the first channel region, and a source/drain region adjacent to the first gate stack; a second transistor comprising a second channel region in the fin, a second gate stack over the second channel region, and the source/drain region; a first dielectric layer over the source/drain region, the first gate stack, and the second gate stack; a first contact extending through the first dielectric layer, the first contact being electrically connected to the source/drain region; and a dielectric liner surrounding the first contact, the dielectric liner physically separating the first contact from the first dielectric layer.
