1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
forming a plurality of gate strips, wherein each gate strip is arranged to be a gate terminal of a transistor;
forming a plurality of first contact vias connected to a part of the gate strips;
forming a plurality of first metal strips above the plurality of gate strips;
connecting one of the first metal strips to one of the first contact vias; and
forming a plurality of second metal strips above the plurality of first metal strips, wherein the plurality of second metal strips are co-planar, and each second metal strip and one of the first metal strips are crisscrossed from top view;
wherein a length between two adjacent gate strips is twice as a length between two adjacent second metal strips, and a length of said one of the first metal strips is smaller than two and a half times as the length between two adjacent gate strips.
