    Abstract: Subtractive self-aligned via and plug patterning for back end of line (BEOL) interconnects is described. In an example, an interconnect structure for an integrated circuit includes a first layer of the interconnect structure disposed above a substrate. The first layer includes a first grating of alternating metal lines and dielectric lines in a first direction. The dielectric lines have an uppermost surface higher than an uppermost surface of the metal lines. The interconnect structure further includes a second layer of the interconnect structure disposed above the first layer of the interconnect structure. The second layer includes a second grating of alternating metal lines and dielectric lines in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. The dielectric lines have a lowermost surface lower than a lowermost surface of the metal lines. The dielectric lines of the second grating overlap and contact, but are distinct from, the dielectric lines of the first grating. The metal lines of the first grating are spaced apart from the metal lines of the second grating.

    Abstract: Backside contact structures include etch selective materials to facilitate backside contact formation. An integrated circuit structure includes a frontside contact region, a device region below the frontside contact region, and a backside contact region below the device region. The device region includes a transistor. The backside contact region includes a first dielectric material under a source or drain region of the transistor, a second dielectric material laterally adjacent to the first dielectric material and under a gate structure of the transistor. A non-conductive spacer is between the first and second dielectric materials. The first and second dielectric materials are selectively etchable with respect to one another and the spacer. The backside contact region may include an interconnect feature that, for instance, passes through the first dielectric material and contacts a bottom side of the source/drain region, and/or passes through the second dielectric material and contacts the gate structure.
