Abstract:
1. A transistor, comprising: a plurality of electrical contact structures, wherein each electrical contact structure comprises: a plurality of n metal rectangles on n levels of metal, wherein each of the n metal rectangles includes a first end, wherein a first metal rectangle on at least one metal level is wider in width than a width of at least a portion of a second metal rectangle on a metal level immediately below said at least one metal level, wherein the first metal rectangle on said at least one metal level is shorter in length than the second metal rectangle on the metal level immediately below said at least one metal level, and wherein the first ends of each of the n metal rectangles are substantially aligned, wherein the electrical contact structure is an electrical contact for a drain or source region of a transistor, and wherein the first ends of each of the n metal rectangles are vertically aligned within the drain or source region; a gate terminal comprising a plurality of gate rectangles oriented parallel to each other, wherein the gate rectangles are oriented in a same direction as the electrical contact structures; and a source terminal and a drain terminal, wherein the source and drain terminals are connected to electrical contact structures of the plurality of electrical contact structures.
