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 16):
A method of forming an integrated circuit product, comprising:\n forming a first inverter comprised of first and second transistors that are of opposite types, said first and second transistors sharing a first gate structure; forming a second inverter comprised of third and fourth transistors that are of opposite types, said third and fourth transistors sharing a second gate structure that is positioned immediately adjacent said first gate structure, said first and second gate structures being formed with a first gate pitch; forming a third gate structure positioned immediately adjacent said first gate structure, said first and third gate structures being formed with a second gate pitch; and forming a fourth gate structure positioned immediately adjacent said second gate structure, said second and fourth gate structures being formed with said second gate pitch, wherein said second gate pitch is less than said first gate pitch.
