A semiconductor structure includes a first epitaxial source/drain (S/D) feature disposed over a first semiconductor fin, a second epitaxial S/D feature disposed over a second semiconductor fin and adjacent to the first epitaxial S/D feature, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer disposed over the first and the second epitaxial S/D features, a dielectric feature disposed In the ILD layer and contacting the second epitaxial S/D feature, and a conductive feature disposed in the ILD layer and contacting the first epitaxial S/D feature, where a portion of the conductive feature extends to contact the dielectric feature.
