    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a wafer having a first surface, wherein the wafer includes a gate electrode having a top surface, and the top surface is leveled with the first surface; and forming an alignment structure on the top surface. The method further includes forming a photoresist on the alignment layer to cover a portion of the top surface; and removing portions of the alignment layer uncovered by the photoresist to form an alignment structure on the top surface. The method further includes forming a dielectric surrounding the alignment structure on the first surface and over the alignment structure, removing a portion of the dielectric to expose the alignment structure by CMP; removing the alignment structure to expose at least a portion of the top surface of the gate electrode, and forming a gate conductor over and in contact with the gate electrode.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit includes generating, by a processor, a layout design of the integrated circuit based on a set of design rules and manufacturing the integrated circuit based on the layout design. The integrated circuit has a first gate. Generating the layout design includes generating a set of gate layout patterns, generating a cut feature layout pattern and generating a first via layout pattern. The cut feature layout pattern extends in a first direction, is located on the first layout level and overlaps at least a first gate layout pattern. The set of gate layout patterns extends in a second direction and is located on a first layout level. The first via layout pattern is over the first gate layout pattern, and is separated in the second direction from the cut feature layout pattern by a first distance. The first distance satisfies a first design rule.
