    摘要: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes fabricating a set of transistors in a front-side of a substrate, fabricating a first set of vias in a back-side of the substrate, depositing a first set of conductive structures on the back-side on a first level, depositing a second set of conductive structures on the back-side on a second level thereby forming a set of power rails, fabricating a second set of vias in the back-side, and depositing a third set of conductive structures on the back-side on a third level. The first set of vias is electrically coupled to the set of transistors. The second set of vias is electrically coupled to the first and third set of conductive structures. A first structure of the first set of conductive structures is electrically coupled to a first via of the first set of vias.

    摘要: An integrated circuit structure is disclosed, including a gate, a first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines, and a first feed-through via. The gate is disposed on a front side of the integrated circuit structure and extends in a first direction on a first side of a dielectric layer. The first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines are disposed on a second side, opposite of the first side, of the dielectric layer and on a back side, opposite of the front side, of the integrated circuit structure. The first conductive line is interposed between the pair of second conductive lines in a layout view. The first feed-through via extends through the dielectric layer in a second direction different from the first direction. The first feed-through via couples the gate to the first conductive line.

    摘要: Generating a circuit layout is provided. A circuit layout associated with a circuit is received. A parallel pattern recognition is performed on the circuit layout. Performing the parallel pattern recognition includes determining that there is a parallel pattern in the circuit layout. In response to determining that there is a parallel pattern in the circuit layout, a cell swap for a first cell associated with the parallel pattern with a second cell is performed. After the cell swap for the first cell, engineering change order routing is performed to connect the second cell in the circuit layout. An updated circuit layout having the second cell is provided.

    摘要: An integrated circuit structure is disclosed, including a gate, a first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines, and a first feed-through via. The gate is disposed on a front side of the integrated circuit structure and extends in a first direction on a first side of a dielectric layer. The first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines are disposed on a second side, opposite of the first side, of the dielectric layer and on a back side, opposite of the front side, of the integrated circuit structure. The first conductive line is interposed between the pair of second conductive lines in a layout view. The first feed-through via extends through the dielectric layer in a second direction different from the first direction. The first feed-through via couples the gate to the first conductive line.
