ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device and a method of making it are described. During the formation of the semiconductor device, a hard mask is formed of an etch-resistant material. The mask prevents etchant from etching an area within a dielectric material near a conductive plug. The mask may be formed of a nitride. Conductive material is then deposited within an etched via and is contacted with the conductive plug.
