Abstract:
A semiconductor device is formed where a conductive extension (e.g., a TS) electrically couples with a first structure (e.g., an S/D) of the semiconductor device, a dielectric is deposited at least on a surface of a second structure (e.g., a gate), where the surface is substantially parallel to a plane of fabrication of the semiconductor device. An insulator cap surrounds an exposed portion of the extension. An opening is formed in the insulator cap, and a first contact (e.g., a CA) is formed through the opening to electrically couple with the first structure. A second contact (e.g., a CB) is formed through an opening in the dielectric at a first portion of the surface and electrically couples with the second structure. The dielectric continues to cover a second portion of the surface, and a portion of the insulator cap is interposed between the first contact and the second contact.

Claim (Index 5):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the insulator cap is fabricated using silicon nitride (SiN).
