Abstract
Elongated metal contacts with longitudinal axes that lie in a first direction are formed to make electrical connections to elongated source and drain regions with longitudinal axes that lie in the first direction, and elongated metal contacts with longitudinal axes that lie a second direction are formed to make electrical connections to elongated source and drain regions with longitudinal axes that lie the second direction, where the second direction lies orthogonal to the first direction.
