A device includes a first semiconductor strip and a second semiconductor strip extending longitudinally in a first direction, where the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip are spaced apart from each other in a second direction. The device also includes a power supply line located between the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip. A top surface of the power supply line is recessed in comparison to a top surface of the first semiconductor strip. A source feature is disposed on a source region of the first semiconductor strip, and a source contact electrically couples the source feature to the power supply line. The source contact includes a lateral portion contacting a top surface of the source feature, and a vertical portion extending along a sidewall of the source feature towards the power supply line to physically contact the power supply line.
