Gate conductors on an integrated circuit are formed with enlarged upper portions which are utilized to electrically connect the gate conductors with other devices. A semiconductor device comprises a gate conductor with an enlarged upper portion which electrically connects the gate conductor to a local diffusion region. Another semiconductor device comprises two gate conductors with enlarged upper portions which merge to create electrically interconnected gate conductors. Methods for forming the above semiconductor devices are also described and claimed.
