Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a transistor comprising drain and source regions and a gate electrode structure; a contact bar formed in a first dielectric material and connecting to one of said drain region and said source region, said contact bar having a length and a width and comprising a first conductive material, wherein said contact bar length extends along a width direction of said transistor and is greater than said contact bar width; and a conductive line formed in a second dielectric material, said conductive line comprising an upper portion having a top width extending along a length direction of said transistor and a lower portion having a bottom width extending along said length direction that is less than said top width of said upper portion, wherein said conductive line has a length that is greater than said top width and is substantially aligned with said contact bar length, said conductive line connecting to said contact bar and comprising a second conductive material that differs from said first conductive material.
