Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming metal interconnects in an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes placing a metal interconnect in a layout area, determining a location of a redundant portion of the metal interconnect, and reducing, at the location, the length of the metal interconnect by a length of the redundant portion to form one or more active portions of the metal interconnect. The length of the redundant portion is a function of a distance between adjacent gate structures of the IC. The method further includes forming the one or more active portions on an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer of the IC and forming vias on the one or more active portions, wherein the vias are positioned about 3 nm to about 5 nm away from an end of the one or more active portions.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure including a gate dielectric layer and a first gate electrode layer, and a second gate electrode layer. In the method for fabricating the semiconductor device, at first, the semiconductor substrate is provided. The semiconductor substrate includes fin portions. Then, a gate dielectric layer is formed on the fin portions. Thereafter, a first gate electrode layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer. Then, the first gate electrode layer is etched. Thereafter, a second electrode layer is formed on the first gate electrode layer. Therefore, the gate electrode layer formed on the gate dielectric layer is regrown with easy control.

Abstract: A device includes a first semiconductor strip and a second semiconductor strip extending longitudinally in a first direction, where the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip are spaced apart from each other in a second direction. The device also includes a power supply line located between the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip. A top surface of the power supply line is recessed in comparison to a top surface of the first semiconductor strip. A source feature is disposed on a source region of the first semiconductor strip, and a source contact electrically couples the source feature to the power supply line. The source contact includes a lateral portion contacting a top surface of the source feature, and a vertical portion extending along a sidewall of the source feature towards the power supply line to physically contact the power supply line.
