Abstract
A method for forming a stacked transistor includes forming a sacrificial cap over a first interconnect of a lower level transistor. The method further includes forming an upper level transistor above the sacrificial cap. The method further includes removing the sacrificial cap to form an opening such that the opening is delimited by the upper level transistor. The method further includes forming a second interconnect in the opening such that the second interconnect is in direct contact with the first interconnect.
