Claim 8:
9. An integrated circuit structure, comprising:
a three-dimensional body comprising silicon;
a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode over the three-dimensional body, the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode surrounding the three-dimensional body, the first and second gate electrodes along a first direction, and the first and second gate electrodes having a first pitch;
a first plurality of metal lines above the first and second gate electrodes;
a gate contact coupling one of the first plurality of metal lines to the first gate electrode at a location vertically over the three-dimensional body;
a second plurality of metal lines over the first plurality of metal lines, wherein metal lines of the second plurality of metal lines are along the first direction and have a second pitch, the second pitch less than the first pitch, and wherein one of the second plurality of metal lines is vertically overlapping with one of the first or second gate electrodes.
