Abstract
A technique relates to a semiconductor device. One or more N-type field effect transistor (NFET) gates and one or more P-type field effect transistor (PFET) gates are formed. Source and drain (S/D) contacts are formed, at least one material of the S/D contacts being formed in the PFET gates. Insulating material is deposited as self-aligned caps above the NFET gates and the PFET gates, while the insulating material is also formed as insulator portions adjacent to the S/D contacts. Middle of the line (MOL) contacts are formed above the S/D contacts.
