Abstract
A semiconductor device is formed in which a first-type doped field effect transistor has a first gate stack that has an end portion with a second gate stack formed for a second-type, complementary doped field effect transistor. Lateral electrical contact is made between the first gate stack and the second gate stack. The lateral electrical contact provides an electrical shunt at the end of the first gate stack.
