Abstract
Semiconductor devices and methods of making the same include a first lower device and a second lower device on a substrate. A first upper device is over the first lower device and a second upper device is over the second lower device. A first lower contact extends from a height above the first upper device and makes electrical contact with a top surface and a sidewall surface of the first lower device. A second lower contact extends from a height above the second upper device and makes electrical contact with a top surface and a sidewall surface of the second lower device. An insulating barrier is between the first lower contact and the second lower contact.
