Abstract:
An integrated circuit structure in which a gate overlies channel region in an active area of a first transistor. The first transistor includes a channel region, a source region and a drain region. A conductive contact is coupled to the drain region of the first transistor. A second transistor that includes a channel region, a source region a drain region is adjacent to the first transistor. The gate of the second transistor is spaced from the gate of the first transistor. A conductive via passes through an insulation layer to electrically connect to the gate of the second transistor. An expanded conductive via overlays both the conductive contact and the conductive via to electrically connect the drain of the first transistor to the gate of the second transistor.

Claim (Index 21):
An integrated circuit structure, comprising:\n a first transistor including a first channel region, a first gate overlying the channel region, a first source region, and a first drain region; a conductive contact directly connected to the first drain region of the first transistor, the conductive contact having an upper surface and being a first material; a second transistor including a second channel region, a second gate overlying the second channel region, a second source region, and a second drain region; a conductive via directly connected to the second gate, the conductive via having an upper surface and being a second material that is different than the first material; an expanded conductive via overlaying the conductive contact and the conductive via and electrically connecting the conductive contact to the conductive via, the expanded conductive via having a lower surface extending from the conductive contact to the conductive via, wherein the upper surfaces of the conductive via and the conductive contact and the lower surface of the expanded conductive via are at a same level.
