Claim 17:
18. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a plurality of cell structures, wherein each of the plurality of cell structures comprises:
a gate structure including a gate pad and a gate contact on the gate pad,
a first source region disposed below the gate pad, wherein the first source region comprises a first source pad and a first source contact below the first source pad;
a first drain region disposed on the gate pad, wherein the first drain region comprises a first drain pad and a first drain contact on the first drain pad;
a second source region disposed below the gate pad, wherein the second source region comprises a second source pad and a second source contact below the second source pad; and
a second drain region disposed on the gate pad, wherein the second drain region comprises a second drain pad and a second drain contact on the second drain pad;

at least one connection structure each of which is disposed between two adjacent cell structures of the plurality of cell structures;
a first metal layer including a plurality of metal 0 lines formed on the gate contact, the first drain contact and the second drain contact; and
a second metal layer including a plurality of metal 1 lines formed on the first metal layer, wherein:
each of the plurality of metal 0 lines extends along a first direction,
each of the plurality of metal 1 lines extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and
each of the plurality of cell structures has a first length along the first direction and a second length along the second direction.
