Abstract

Various embodiments provide a semiconductor structure having a common gate and fabrication method of the semiconductor structure. In an exemplary method, after forming a first metal gate and a second metal gate, a conductive material layer can be formed at least at the boundary between the first metal gate and the second metal gate. Thus, one end of the conductive material layer can be connected to a first metal gate electrode, and the other end of the conductive material layer can be connected to a second metal gate electrode. The resistance between the first metal gate electrode and the second metal gate electrode can be effectively reduced. Gate voltages of an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor of the common gate can be the same.
