Patent ID: 11942420
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a first transistor comprising:
a first gate structure extending along a first lateral direction; and
a first source/drain structure disposed next to the first gate structure along a second lateral direction;

a second transistor disposed above the first transistor and comprising:
a second gate structure extending along the first lateral direction; and
a second source/drain structure disposed next to the second gate structure along the second lateral direction;

a first interconnect structure, disposed above the second gate structure, that extends along the second lateral direction, the first interconnect structure including a first portion and a second portion electrically isolated from each other; and
a second interconnect structure, disposed between the first gate structure and the first interconnect structure, that electrically couples the first gate structure to the first portion of the first interconnect structure;
wherein the second interconnect structure includes a recessed portion that is substantially aligned with the first gate structure along a vertical direction and wherein the recessed portion is separated from the first portion of the first interconnect structure with a dielectric recess structure along the vertical direction.
