More Information
Summary:One illustrative transistor device disclosed herein includes a gate structure positioned above at least an active region, wherein the gate structure has an axial length in a direction corresponding to a gate width direction of the transistor device. In this example, a first portion of the axial length of the gate structure has a first upper surface and a second portion of the axial length of the gate structure has a second upper surface, wherein the first upper surface is positioned at a level that is above a level of the second upper surface. The device also includes a gate contact structure that contacts the first upper surface of the gate structure.
