  • Publication number: 20240421162
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a backside insulating structure including an etch stop pattern, gate lines arranged over the backside insulating structure and each overlapping the etch stop pattern in a vertical direction, source/drain regions respectively arranged one-by-one between the gate lines, and a backside via contact passing through the etch stop pattern in the vertical direction and connected to a first source/drain region selected from the source/drain regions, wherein the backside via contact includes a stepped portion, which is apart from a first vertical level in the vertical direction by as much as a first distance and has a change in the width of the backside via contact in a horizontal direction at a second vertical level that is adjacent to the etch stop pattern, the first vertical level being closest to the plurality of gate lines in the backside insulating structure.

  • Publication number: 20240258204
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate including an active region extending in a first direction; a gate structure extending in a second direction on the active region; source/drain regions on the active region and adjacent the gate structure; a backside insulating layer on a lower surface of the substrate; a vertical power structure between adjacent source/drain regions, wherein the vertical power structure extends through the substrate and the backside insulating layer and has an exposed lower surface exposed; an interlayer insulating layer on the backside insulating layer; a backside power structure that extends through the interlayer insulating layer and is connected to the vertical power structure; and a first alignment insulating layer between the backside insulating layer and the interlayer insulating layer, wherein the first alignment insulating layer has a first opening exposing the lower surface of the vertical power structure and contacts the backside power structure.
