Abstract:
A semiconductor arrangement and method of forming the same are described. A semiconductor arrangement includes a third metal connect in contact with a first metal connect in a first active region and a second metal connect in a second active region, and over a shallow trench isolation region located between the first active region and a second active region. A method of forming the semiconductor arrangement includes forming a first opening over the first metal connect, the STI region, and the second metal connect, and forming the third metal connect in the first opening. Forming the third metal connect over the first metal connect and the second metal connect mitigates RC coupling.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising:\n forming a dielectric layer over the gate, the first metal connect, and the second metal connect; forming a first opening in the dielectric layer to expose the gate; forming a second opening in the dielectric layer to expose the first metal connect and the second metal connect, wherein forming the third metal connect comprises forming the third metal connect in the second opening; and forming a metal contact in the first opening.
