    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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming metal interconnects in an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes placing a metal interconnect in a layout area, determining a location of a redundant portion of the metal interconnect, and reducing, at the location, the length of the metal interconnect by a length of the redundant portion to form one or more active portions of the metal interconnect. The length of the redundant portion is a function of a distance between adjacent gate structures of the IC. The method further includes forming the one or more active portions on an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer of the IC and forming vias on the one or more active portions, wherein the vias are positioned about 3 nm to about 5 nm away from an end of the one or more active portions.
