A process for making local interconnection of devices on a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. Contact openings are defined to a plurality of devices on the substrate. A blanket layer of germanium is deposited over the substrate, followed by deposition of a blanket layer of electrically conducting material on top of the germanium layer. The conducting layer is etched first stopping at the germanium layer. Subsequently the germanium layer is etched by a different process, selective to the conductive layer and the device contact. The conducting layer is preferably one of the following materials: polysilicon, silicide, a composite of polysilicon with metal or silicide films.
