Abstract

A semiconductor device includes first and second polysilicon areas on a chip. The first polysilicon area corresponds to circuit elements of the semiconductor device. At least some of the first polysilicon corresponds to polysilicon gates. At least some of the second polysilicon area comprises contacts of the semiconductor device. Metal covers the polysilicon contacts.
