  • Publication number: 20240304625
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes one or more lower transistors and includes one or more upper transistors. The upper transistor(s) may be forksheet transistors or cells separated by a forksheet pillar. The upper transistor(s) are stacked vertically above respective lower transistor(s). The device width of the upper transistor(s) is relatively small compared to the device width of the lower transistor. As such, adequate space exists for both a lower source/drain (S/D) contact and an upper S/D contact to exist in a same YY cross sectional plane. The lower S/D contact may bypass the upper transistor and contact the underlying lower S/D region there below.
