DOUBLE-SIDED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TRANSISTOR STRUCTURES WITH DEPOPULATED BOTTOM CHANNEL REGIONS

Abstract:

Integrated circuitry comprising interconnect metallization on both front and back sides of a gate-all-around (GAA) transistor structure lacking at least one active bottom channel region. Bottom channel regions may be depopulated from a GAA transistor structure following removal of a back side substrate that exposes an inactive portion of a semiconductor fin. During back-side processing, one or more bottom channel region may be removed or rendered inactive through dopant implantation. Back-side processing may then proceed with the interconnection of one or more terminal of the GAA transistor structures through one or more levels of back-side interconnect metallization.
