Abstract
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a contact over an active gate structure and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: an active gate structure composed of conductive material located between sidewall material; an upper sidewall material above the sidewall material, the upper sidewall material being different material than the sidewall material; and a contact structure in electrical contact with the conductive material of the active gate structure. The contact structure is located between the sidewall material and between the upper sidewall material.
