  • Publication number: 20240055496
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, at least one gate electrode, a plurality of source/drain (S/D) regions, a backside contact, a first dielectric layer, and a conductive via. The at least one gate electrode is disposed in the substrate. The S/D regions is disposed in the substrate and laterally disposed aside the at least one gate electrode. The backside contact is disposed above the S/D regions and the at least one gate electrode. The first dielectric layer is disposed between the backside contact and the plurality of S/D regions and the at least one gate electrode. The conductive via is extended through the first dielectric layer to electrically connect the S/D regions and the backside contact. The conductive via includes an anisotropic transport material or a topological material.
