Claim 6:
7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:
forming a stack of a first dielectric layer, an electrically conductive layer, and a second dielectric layer on the top of the active region, wherein the electrically conductive layer extends laterally to the outer periphery of the isolation layer, and the at least one of the first contact, the second contact, or the third contact is formed on the second dielectric layer and passes through the second dielectric layer to contact the electrically conductive layer; and
patterning the electrically conductive layer to extend continuously between the at least one of the first contact, the second contact, or the third contact and a corresponding one of the electrically conductive channels, while portions thereof contacting different ones of the contacts are separated from each other.
