Abstract:
One integrated circuit (IC) product disclosed herein includes a first conductive source/drain contact structure of a first transistor and an insulating source/drain cap positioned above at least a portion of an upper surface of the first conductive source/drain contact structure. In one example, the product also includes a gate-to-source/drain (GSD) contact structure that is conductively coupled to the first conductive source/drain contact structure and a first gate structure of a second transistor, wherein an upper surface of the GSD contact structure is positioned at a first level that is at a level above the upper surface of the first conductive source/drain contact structure, and a CB gate contact structure that is conductively coupled to a second gate structure of a third transistor, wherein an upper surface of the CB gate contact structure is positioned at a level that is above the first level.

Claim (Index 11):
An integrated circuit (IC) product, comprising:\n a first conductive source/drain contact structure of a first transistor; an insulating source/drain cap positioned above at least a portion of an upper surface of said first conductive source/drain contact structure; a gate-to-source/drain (GSD) contact structure that is conductively coupled to said first conductive source/drain contact structure and a first gate structure of a second transistor, wherein an upper surface of said GSD contact structure is positioned at a first level that is at a level above said upper surface of said first conductive source/drain contact structure; a CB gate contact structure that is conductively coupled to a second gate structure of a third transistor, wherein an upper surface of said CB gate contact structure is positioned at a level that is above said first level; and a first metallization layer comprising a first conductive line, wherein said first conductive line is positioned vertically above at least a portion of said GSD contact structure and adjacent said CB gate contact structure, wherein said first conductive line physically contacts said CB gate contact structure and wherein an insulating material is positioned vertically between said first conductive line and said GSD contact structure, wherein said third transistor further comprises a second conductive source/drain contact structure, and wherein said first metallization layer further comprises a second conductive line that is separate from said first conductive line and a conductive via, wherein said conductive via is positioned between and conductively coupled to said second conductive line and said second conductive source/drain contact structure.
