Abstract

The disclosure relates to integrated circuit (IC) structures with substantially T-shaped wires, and methods of forming the same. An IC structure according to the present disclosure can include a first substantially T-shaped wire including a first portion extending in a first direction, and a second portion extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; an insulator laterally abutting the first substantially T-shaped wire at an end of the first portion, opposite the second portion; and a pair of gates each extending in the first direction and laterally abutting opposing sidewalls of the insulator and the first portion of the substantially T-shaped wire.
