Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: forming a fin structure in a semiconductor substrate, the fin structure having a first side surface and a second side surface, the first side surface and the second side surface opposing each other relative to the fin structure; forming a first trench adjacent to the first side surface and a second trench adjacent to the second side surface in the semiconductor substrate; forming an isolation layer within the first trench and the second trench; forming an insulator layer adjacent to the first side surface and the second side surface; forming a conductor layer adjacent to the insulator layer; etching the conductor layer to form two separate and distinct conductor structures, wherein: forming a first bridge structure that is connected to the one of the two separate and distinct conductor structures and that extends orthogonally with respect to the one of the two separate and distinct conductor structures; and forming a second bridge structure that is connected to the another of the two separate and distinct conductor structures and that extends orthogonally with respect to the another of the two separate and distinct conductor structures, wherein the first bridge structure is distinct and separate from the second bridge structure.
