Claim 6:
7. An integrated circuit structure, comprising:
a three-dimensional body;
a gate structure completely surrounding a channel region of the three-dimensional body, the gate structure including a recessed conductive portion and a non-recessed conductive portion;
an insulating layer on the recessed conductive portion of the gate structure and laterally adjacent to the non-recessed conductive portion of the gate structure, wherein the insulating layer has an uppermost surface at a same level as an uppermost surface of the non-recessed conductive portion of the gate structure;
a conductive trench contact structure laterally adjacent to the gate structure, the conductive trench contact structure including a trench insulating layer thereon;
an interlayer dielectric material above the gate structure and the conductive trench contact;
an opening in the interlayer dielectric material, the opening exposing the non-recessed conductive portion of the gate structure; and
a conductive structure in the opening, the conductive structure in direct contact with the non-recessed conductive portion of the gate structure.
