Contact over active gate (COAG) structures with conductive gate taps are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of gate structures above a substrate, each of the gate structures including a gate insulating layer thereon. Each of the plurality of gate structures includes a conductive tap structure protruding through the corresponding gate insulating layer. A plurality of conductive trench contact structures is alternating with the plurality of gate structures, each of the conductive trench contact structures including a trench insulating layer thereon. An interlayer dielectric material is above the trench insulating layers and the gate insulating layers. An opening is in the interlayer dielectric material and exposes the conductive tap structure of one of the plurality of gate structures. A conductive structure is in the opening and is in direct contact with the conductive tap structure of one of the plurality of gate structures.
