In some embodiments, a semiconductor device structure is formed by using an angled etch to remove material so as to expose a portion of an adjacent conductor. The space formed upon removing the material can then be filled with a conductive material during formation of a contact or other conductive structure (e.g., and interconnection). In this way, the contact formation also fills the space to form an angled local interconnect portion that connects adjacent structures (e.g., a source/drain contact to an adjacent source/drain contact, a source/drain contact to an adjacent gate contact, a source/drain contact to an adjacent device level conductor also connected to a gate/source/drain contact). In other embodiments, an interconnection structure herein termed a “jogged via” establishes and electrical connection from laterally adjacent peripheral surfaces of conductive structures that are not coaxially or concentrically aligned with one another.
