Abstract

A method (of forming a semiconductor device) includes: forming an active area structure extending in a first direction; forming gate structures over the active area structure and extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; forming contact-source/drain (CSD) conductors over the active area structure, interleaved with corresponding ones of the gate structures, and extending in the second direction; and forming first conductive segments in a first layer of metallization (M_1st layer) over the active area structure and extending in the first direction, the first conductive segments including a first gate-signal-carrying (GSC) conductor which overlaps the active area structure.
