Abstract

See full text

The gate resistance of a high-frequency multi-finger MOS transistor is reduced by shorting together the ends of each of the gates by utilizing gate contacts, metal regions, vias, and a metal layer. Alternately, the gate resistance is reduced by utilizing a metal line that shorts all of the gate contacts together, and overlies each of the gates. By reducing the gate resistance, the maximum frequency f.sub.MAX of the multi-finger transistor can be increased.
