Abstract
A system and a method for transistor level routing are disclosed. The method comprises forming a high-k dielectric layer over a substrate, forming a metal layer directly over the high-k dielectric layer, and selectively disposing a semiconductive layer over the metal layer. The method further comprises forming a first transistor in a first region and a second transistor in a second region spaced from the first region, the first and second transistor having gate stacks comprising a high-k dielectric layer, a metal layer and a semiconductive layer, and forming an electrical connection between the first transistor and the second transistor comprising the high-k dielectric layer and the metal layer but not the semiconductive layer.
