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 10):
An integrated circuit structure, comprising:\n a semiconductor active area; a first gate overlying a channel region in the active area; a first transistor that includes the channel region and a first terminal adjacent to a first side of the channel region in the active area; a conductive contact that is electrically coupled to the first terminal of the first transistor, the conductive contact being formed from a first material; a conductive member spaced from the first gate, the conductive member being formed from a second material different than the first material; a conductive via electrically coupled to the conductive member and positioned to overlie the conductive contact, the conductive via having a lower surface that is at a same level as upper surfaces of the conductive member and conductive contact, and the conductive via electrically coupling the conductive contact to the first gate to provide electrical coupling from the first terminal of the first transistor to the conductive member.
