Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an isolation feature, gate lines, and a first gate structure. The isolation feature is over the semiconductor substrate and surrounding an active region of the semiconductor substrate. The gate lines extend across the active region of the semiconductor substrate. The first gate structure is over the isolation feature. The first gate structure includes a first gate line, a second gate line, and a first bridge portion, the first and second gate lines are substantially parallel with the gate lines, and the first bridge portion connects the first gate line to the second gate line.
