A system, method, and layout for a semiconductor integrated circuit device allows for improved scaling down of various back-end structures, which can include contacts and other metal interconnection structures. The resulting structures can include a semiconductor substrate, a buried diffusion region formed on the semiconductor substrate, and at least one of a silicide film, for example tungsten silicide (WSix), and a self-aligned silicide (salicide) film, for example cobalt silicide (CoSi) and/or nickel silicide (NiSi), above the buried diffusion (BD) layer. The semiconductor integrated circuit can also include a memory gate structure formed over at least a portion of the contact layer.
