Abstract

Semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the semiconductor devices with cross coupled contacts using patterning for cross couple pick-up are disclosed. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device; performing a first lithography to pattern a first shape; performing a second lithography to pattern a second shape overlapping a portion of the first shape; processing the first shape and the second shape to form an isolation region at the overlap; and forming four regions separated by the isolation region. An intermediate semiconductor device is also disclosed.
