Claim 0:
1. A device comprising:
a switch structure having an input and an output, wherein the switch structure is formed in and on a silicon wafer;
a first thru-silicon via disposed beside a first diffusion region of the switch structure, wherein the first thru-silicon via passes through the silicon wafer and is operably connected to a backside metal layer formed underneath the silicon wafer to a frontside metal layer formed above the silicon wafer, and wherein the first thru-silicon via couples a first backside signal to a gate of the switch structure by way of the input of the switch structure; and
a second thru-silicon via disposed beside a second diffusion region of the switch structure, wherein the second thru-silicon via passes through the silicon wafer and is operably connected to the frontside metal layer to the backside metal layer, and wherein the second thru-silicon via couples a second backside signal to the output of the switch structure.
