Abstract
An apparatus includes at least one first device having a first contacted poly pitch (CPP) and a first contact. The first contact has a first contact size. The apparatus also includes at least one second device having a second CPP, a second contact, and a contact liner. The second CPP is larger than the first CPP. The second contact size is constrained by the contact liner, such that the contact liner reduces a contact opening for the second contact.
