    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing FinFETs including providing a precursor FinFET structure having a substrate with fins thereon, S/D junctions on fin tops, an STI layer on the substrate and between fins, a conformal first dielectric layer on the STI layer and S/D junctions, and a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer; forming a conformal third dielectric layer on the second dielectric layer and surfaces of the first dielectric layer located above the second dielectric layer; forming a fourth dielectric layer on the third dielectric layer such that third dielectric layer located between adjacent fins is exposed and such that third dielectric layer located above the adjacent fins is exposed; removing the exposed third dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer located thereunder, thereby exposing the S/D junctions; and forming a metal contact on the exposed S/D junctions and the exposed portion of the third dielectric layer between adjacent fins.
