Abstract: A memory cell includes first and second active regions and first and second gate structures. The first gate structure engages the first and second active regions in forming a first pull-down transistor and a first pull-up transistor, respectively, and the second gate structure engages the first and second active regions in forming a second pull-down transistor and a second pull-up transistor, respectively. A first frontside source/drain contact is disposed above and electrically couples to a first common source/drain region of the first and second pull-down transistors. A first backside via is disposed under and electrically couples to the first common source/drain region. A first backside metal line is disposed under and electrically couples to the first backside via.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device has a memory region in which a plurality of memory cells is implemented. Each of the memory cells has a first dimension in a first horizontal direction. The IC device includes an edge region bordering the memory cell region in the first horizontal direction. The edge region has a second dimension in the first horizontal direction. The second dimension is less than or equal to about 4 times the first dimension. The IC device is formed by revising a first IC layout to generate a second IC layout. The second IC layout is generated by shrinking a dimension of the edge region in the first horizontal direction.

Abstract: Interconnect structures for front-to-front stacked chips/dies and methods of fabrication thereof are disclosed herein. An exemplary system on integrated circuit (SoIC) includes a first die that is front-to-front bonded with a second die, for example, by bonding a first topmost metallization layer of a first frontside multilayer interconnect of the first die to a second topmost metallization layer of a second frontside multilayer interconnect of the second die. A through via extends partially through the first frontside multilayer interconnect of the first die, through a device layer of the first die, through a backside power rail of the first die, and through a carrier substrate. The backside power rail is between the carrier substrate and the device layer, and the backside power rail may be a portion of a backside multilayer interconnect of the first die. The through via may be connected to a redistribution layer (RDL) structure.
