Conductive spline for metal gates |
摘要 |
An integrated circuit may include a metal gate which extends over an active area and onto an isolation dielectric layer. A conductive spline is formed on the metal gate, extending on the metal gate over at least a portion of the isolation dielectric layer, and extending on the metal gate for a length at least four times a width of the metal gate. |

1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a substrate; an isolation dielectric layer at a top surface of said substrate; an active area at said top surface of said substrate, said active area being adjacent to said isolation dielectric layer; a metal gate disposed over said substrate, said metal gate extending over at least a portion of said active area and over at least a portion of said isolation dielectric layer; and a conductive spline disposed on said metal gate, extending on said metal gate over at least a portion of said isolation dielectric layer, and extending on said metal gate at least four times a width of said metal gate. |
