    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a substrate, a first contact layer, and a gate electrode. The first contact layer overlies the substrate and the gate electrode overlies the substrate and is laterally spaced from the first contact layer. A first spacer structure surrounds outermost sidewalls of the first contact layer and separates the gate electrode from the first contact layer. A first hard mask structure is arranged over the first contact layer and is between portions of the first spacer structure. A first contact via extends through the first hard mask structure and contacts the first contact layer. A first liner layer is arranged directly between the first hard mask structure and the first spacer structure.

    Abstract: A method and structure directed to providing a source/drain isolation structure includes providing a device having a first source/drain region adjacent to a second source/drain region. A masking layer is deposited between the first and second source/drain regions and over an exposed first part of the second source/drain region. After depositing the masking layer, a first portion of an ILD layer disposed on either side of the masking layer is etched, without substantial etching of the masking layer, to expose a second part of the second source/drain region and to expose the first source/drain region. After etching the first portion of the ILD layer, the masking layer is etched to form an L-shaped masking layer. After forming the L-shaped masking layer, a first metal layer is formed over the exposed first source/drain region and a second metal layer is formed over the exposed second part of the second source/drain region.
