Abstract

An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate, an active area, a gate electrode, and a butted contact. The active area is oriented in a first direction and has at least one tooth portion extending in a second direction in the semiconductor substrate. The gate electrode overlies the active area and extends in the second direction. The butted contact has a first portion above the gate electrode and a second portion above the active area. A portion of the second portion of the butted contact lands on the tooth portion.
