Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device, includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and at least one conductive via. The first metal layer has a first conductor that extends in a first direction and a second conductor that extends in the first direction. The second metal layer has a third conductor that extends in a second direction, wherein the second direction is transverse to the first direction. The at least one conductive via connects the first conductor and the second conductor through the third conductor. The semiconductor device further includes at least one of a first gate electrode that extends in the second direction and is connected to the first conductor, or a drain/source contact that extends in the second direction and is connected to the second conductor.
