  • Publication number: 20250063763
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a backside wiring line in a first backside interlayer insulating film, a fin-type pattern on the backside wiring line, a second backside interlayer insulating film between the fin-type pattern and the first backside interlayer insulating film, a gate electrode on the fin-type pattern, a first source/drain pattern on a side of the gate electrode, and a backside source/drain contact in a backside contact hole defined by the fin-type pattern and the second backside interlayer insulating film. The backside source/drain contact may connect the backside wiring line and the first source/drain pattern. The backside source/drain contact may include an upper pattern and a lower pattern. The upper pattern may be between the lower pattern and the first source/drain pattern, and may fill at least a portion of the first backside contact hole. The upper pattern may have a single conductive film structure.
