A method includes forming first and second fins disposed on a substrate, forming a gate structure over the first and second fins, epitaxially growing a first source/drain (S/D) feature on the first fin and a second S/D feature on the second fin, depositing a dielectric layer covering the first and second S/D features, etching the dielectric layer to form a trench exposing the first and second S/D features, forming a metal structure in the trench and extending from the first S/D feature to the second S/D feature, performing a cut metal process to form an opening dividing the metal structure into a first segment over the first S/D feature and a second segment over the second S/D feature, and depositing an isolation feature in the opening. The isolation feature separates the first segment from the second segment.
