    Abstract: A method includes providing a fin, an isolation structure, and first and second source/drain (S/D) features over the fin; forming an etch mask covering a first portion and exposing a second portion of the fin; removing the second portion of the fin, resulting in a first trench; filling the first trench with a first dielectric feature; removing the etch mask; and applying etching process(es) to remove the first portion of the fin and to partially recess the first S/D feature. The etching process(es) includes an isotropic etching tuned selective to materials of the first S/D feature and not materials of the isolation structure and the first dielectric feature, resulting in a second trench under the first S/D feature and having a gap between a bottom surface of the first S/D feature and a top surface of the isolation structure. The method further includes forming a via in the second trench.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor structure having a power distribution network including first and second conductive lines. A substrate includes a first surface that is in contact with the power distribution network. A plurality of backside vias are in the substrate and electrically coupled to the first conductive line. A via rail is on a second surface of the substrate that opposes the first surface. A first interlayer dielectric is on the via rail and on the substrate. A second interlayer dielectric is on the first interlayer dielectric. A third interlayer dielectric is on the second interlayer dielectric. First and top interconnect layers are in the second and third interlayer dielectrics, respectively. Deep vias are in the third interlayer dielectric and electrically coupled to the via rail. The deep vias are also connected to the first and top interconnect layers. A power supply in/out layer is on the third interlayer dielectric and in contact with the top interconnect layer.
