tiger,

Here is how one could go about this. Ask the foundry for reliability information. If you can't get a response then view the layout for the digital library for the smallest inverter you can find and use as a minimum use the number of contacts in that layout. Finally expect that the fewer the contacts the more variation in the overall resistance between source/drain of the transistor and the metalization it connects to, so digital operation might be the only appropriate operation for this device.

thanks a lot, rfcooltools.com
yes, it is a problem about the reliability . i have checked out this kind of layout for digital circuit, and it is acceptable.
also, i view the standard rf Mosfet provided by the foundry. Though two poly contcact ared used to connect poly and metal1, it just uses only one via connecting the metal1 to metal2, from which the signal feed into the mosfet. So, i think the process provied by foundry is reliable, and this layout is acceptable.
