Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a gate structure on a semiconductor fin, a dielectric layer on the gate structure, and a gate contact extending through the dielectric layer to the gate structure. The gate contact includes a first conductive material on the gate structure, a top surface of the first conductive material extending between sidewalls of the dielectric layer, and a second conductive material on the top surface of the first conductive material.
