Conductive bridge through dielectric wall between source or drain contacts

An integrated circuit comprising:

• a first semiconductor region extending in a first direction from a first source or drain region;
• a second semiconductor region extending in the first direction from a second source or drain region, the second source or drain region spaced from the first source or drain region in a second direction different from the first direction;
• a first gate electrode around the first semiconductor region and a second gate electrode around the second semiconductor region;
• a dielectric wall between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region and extending in the first direction such that the dielectric wall extends between an entire thickness of the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode and extends between an entire thickness of the first source or drain region and the second source or drain region;
• and
• a conductive contact over a top surface of the first source or drain region and the second source or drain region, wherein a portion of the conductive contact extends through a portion of the dielectric wall in the second direction.

An integrated circuit comprising:

• a first source or drain region;
• a second source or drain region;
• a first dielectric wall extending laterally between the first source or drain region and the second source or drain region;
• a second dielectric wall extending adjacent to the first source or drain region, such that the first source or drain region is laterally between the first and second dielectric walls;
• a third dielectric wall extending adjacent to the second source or drain region, such that the second source or drain region is laterally between the first and third dielectric walls;
• and
• a conductive structure laterally extending between the second and third dielectric walls and over the first dielectric wall, wherein the conductive structure contacts a portion of a sidewall of the second dielectric wall and a portion of a sidewall of the third dielectric wall.
