Abstract
Electrical contacts to diffused regions in a semiconductor substrate are made by a process which reduces the space needed in memory or logic cell layouts. The contacts are made such that they overlap, but are insulated from, adjacent conductors. The contacts are formed in a manner which avoids shorting of the diffused junctions to adjacent structures without being limited by lithographic overlay tolerances.
