A via structure is disclosed for use in a multi-layered semiconductor device, for forming electrical contacts between prescribed layers of the vertically aligned structures. The via structures include a plurality of adjacent frame shaped hole structures which extend between the prescribed layers of the device, and which are filled with metal to form frame shaped vias. The width of each of the sides of the frame is chosen to be equal to an integer multiple of half of the minimum pitch of the semiconductor processing, with the distance between adjacent frame shaped via structures being approximately equal to an integer multiple of half of the minimum pitch of the semiconductor processing.
