Abstract:
One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming a first transistor for an inverter and forming asymmetrically spaced first and second conductive contact structures that are conductively coupled to the source region and the drain region, respectively, of the transistor. In this example, the first conductive contact structure (for the source region) is positioned a first predetermined target distance from a first side of the gate structure of the transistor, and the second conductive contact structure (for the drain region) is positioned a second predetermined target distance from a second side of the gate structure, wherein the second predetermined target distance is less than the first predetermined target distance.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n forming a first transistor for an inverter above a semiconductor substrate, said first transistor comprising a source region, a drain region and a first gate structure having first and second opposing sides; and forming asymmetrically spaced first and second conductive contact structures that are conductively coupled to said source region and said drain region, respectively, wherein said first conductive contact structure is positioned proximate a first predetermined target distance from said first side of said first gate structure at a first level corresponding to an upper surface of said first gate structure and said second conductive contact structure is positioned proximate a second predetermined target distance from said second side of said first gate structure at said first level, said second predetermined target distance being less than said first predetermined target distance.
