Patent ID: 11942413
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a substrate having a first side and a second side;
wherein the semiconductor device comprises, on the first side:
an active region that extends along a first lateral direction and comprises a first sub-region and a second sub-region;
a first gate structure that extends along a second lateral direction and is disposed over the active region, with the first and second sub-regions disposed on opposite sides of the first gate structure, wherein the second lateral direction is perpendicular to the first lateral direction; and
a first interconnecting structure electrically coupled to the first gate structure;

wherein the semiconductor device comprises, on the second side, a second interconnecting structure that is electrically coupled to the first and second sub-regions and is configured to provide a power supply;
wherein the active region, the first gate structure, the first interconnecting structure, and the second interconnecting structure are collectively configured as a decoupling capacitor; and
wherein the first interconnecting structure is vertically aligned with the active region.
