Claim 0:
1. A device comprising:
a first pull-up transistor comprising a first source/drain region and a first gate structure;
a second pull-up transistor comprising a second source/drain region and a second gate structure;
a first contact contacting the first source/drain region, the first contact extending into a second side of the second gate structure, the first contact physically contacting a top surface and an entirety of a sidewall of the second gate structure;
a first spacer separating the first contact from a first side of the first gate structure, top surfaces of the first spacer and the first contact being coplanar;
a second contact contacting the second source/drain region, the second contact extending into the first side of the first gate structure, the second contact physically contacting a top surface and an entirety of a sidewall of the first gate structure; and
a second spacer separating the second contact from the second side of the second gate structure, top surfaces of the second spacer and the second contact being coplanar.
