A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a conductive feature and a first punch stop layer, where the conductive feature has a first top surface, and where the first punch stop layer has a second top surface that is substantially level with the first top surface. The method further includes forming a resistive element over the first punch stop layer. The method further includes etching through a first portion of the resistive element to form a first trench that exposes both the second top surface of the first punch stop layer and a first sidewall surface of the resistive element. The method further includes forming a first conductive via within the first trench, where the first conductive via contacts the first sidewall surface of the resistive element.
