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

Claim 14:
15. An integrated circuit comprising:
a first-voltage power rail extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to a first direction, the first-voltage power rail being in a first connection layer;
a first-voltage underlayer power rail below the first connection layer and extending in the first direction;
a first via-connector connecting the first-voltage power rail with the first-voltage underlayer power rail;
a first semiconductor structure having a source region of a first-type transistor therein conductively connected to the first-voltage underlayer power rail, the first semiconductor structure underneath the first connection layer;
a second semiconductor structure having a source region of a second-type transistor underneath the first connection layer;
a first signal conducting line extending in the second direction and in the first connection layer;
a first terminal-conductor intersecting the first semiconductor structure at a drain region of the first-type transistor or intersecting the second semiconductor structure at a drain region of the second-type transistor; and
a terminal via-connector directly connecting the first terminal-conductor with the first signal conducting line.
