Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to middle of the line self-aligned direct pattern contacts and methods of manufacture. The structures described herein include: at least one gate structure with a metallization and source/drain regions; a source/drain contact in electrical connection with the source/drain regions, respectively; and a contact structure with a re-entrant profile in electrical connection with the source/drain contact and the metallization of the at least one gate structure, respectively.

Claim (Index 18):
The structure of  claim 17 , further comprising capping material on the source/drain contacts and metallization of gate structures which do not have an electrical connection to the first set of contact structures and the second set of contact structures wherein the capping material provides electrical isolation from the first set of contact structures and the second set of contact structures.
