Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A semiconductor structure, comprising:
a first source/drain structure and a second source/drain structure formed over a substrate;
nanostructures suspended over the substrate, wherein the nanostructures are spaced apart from each other in a first direction and interpose the first source/drain structure and the second source/drain structure in a second direction different from the first direction;
a contact landing on the first source/drain structure;
a gate structure wrapping around the nanostructures and extending along a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction;
a first conductive structure formed over the gate structure; and
a second conductive structure extending into a space between the first conductive structure and the contact along the first direction,
wherein a top surface of the second conductive structure is higher than a top surface of the contact, and a bottom surface of the second conductive structure is lower than the top surface of the contact.
