Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first contact positioned on an externally accessible surface of the semiconductor device and electrically coupled with a first structure in the semiconductor device, a second contact positioned on an externally accessible surface and electrically coupled with a second structure in the semiconductor device, and an isolation structure disposed between the first contact and the second contact, the isolation structure self-aligning with a first surface of the first contact such that the first surface of the first contact is orthogonal to the externally accessible surface up to a depth and faces the second contact.

Claim (Index 13):
A semiconductor device fabrication system comprising a processor, a computer-readable memories, and a computer-readable storage device, and program instructions stored on the storage device for execution by the processors via the memories, the stored program instructions causing the fabrication system to perform operations comprising:\n forming a first contact positioned on an externally accessible surface of the semiconductor device and electrically coupled with a first structure in the semiconductor device; forming a second contact positioned on an externally accessible surface and electrically coupled with a second structure in the semiconductor device; forming an isolation structure disposed between the first contact and the second contact, the isolation structure self-aligning with a first surface of the first contact, wherein the first surface of the first contact is orthogonal to the externally accessible surface up to a depth and faces the second contact; forming a contact cap selectively covering all exposed surfaces of the first contact, the contact cap being formed using an electrical insulator material; and modifying the contact cap to form the isolation structure.
