Abstract:
Methods of performing backside etching processes on source/drain regions and gate structures of semiconductor devices and semiconductor devices formed by the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first transistor structure; a first interconnect structure on a front-side of the first transistor structure; and a second interconnect structure on a backside of the first transistor structure, the second interconnect structure including a first dielectric layer on the backside of the first transistor structure; a contact extending through the first dielectric layer to a source/drain region of the first transistor structure; and first spacers along sidewalls of the contact between the contact and the first dielectric layer, sidewalls of the first spacers facing the first dielectric layer being aligned with sidewalls of the source/drain region of the first transistor structure.
