ABSTRACT:
A structure useful during the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuits. At least one layer is formed over an insulating layer, and an opening formed to an underlying substrate. A conductive layer is formed over the at least one layer, which simultaneously forms a conductive plug in the bottom of the opening. An insulating layer plug is formed over the conductive plug to provide protection while the conductive layer on the at least one layer is removed.
