An integrated circuit comprises N plane-like metal layers, where N is an integer greater than one. A first plane-like metal layer includes M contact portions that communicate with the N plane-like metal layers, respectively, where M is an integer greater than one. A first plane-like metal layer and the N plane-like metal layers are located in separate planes. At least two of a first source, a first drain and a second source communicate with at least two of the N plane-like metal layers. A first gate is arranged between the first source and the first drain. A second gate is arranged between the first drain and the second source. The first and second gates define alternating first and second regions in the first drain, and wherein the first and second gates are arranged farther apart in the first regions than in the second regions. |
