Patent ID: 7851865

Claim:
A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process, the design structure comprising a field effect transistor comprising: a substrate; a plurality of semiconductor fins on said substrate, each of said semiconductor fins having a top surface, sidewalls, a first end region, a second end region and a center region positioned laterally between said first end region and said second end region, said first end region and said second end region comprising source/drain regions and said center region comprising a channel region; a gate electrode on said top surface and said sidewalls of each of said semiconductor fins at said center region; gate sidewall spacers on said top surface and said sidewalls of each of said semiconductor fins immediately adjacent to opposite sides of said gate electrode; and a conductor, comprising a metal silicide material on said top surface and said sidewalls of each of said semiconductor fins at only said first end region immediately adjacent to one of said gate sidewall spacers such that said metal silicide material fills at least an upper portion of a space extending between adjacent first end regions of adjacent semiconductor fins so as to electrically connect said first end regions, said one of said gate sidewall spacers electrically isolating said conductor from said gate electrode.
