Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. The semiconductor device of claim 1, further comprising:
a first cell that extends relative to the second direction so that a top portion of the first cell extends relative to the second direction so that a top portion of the first cell relative to the second direction is partially aligned with the first back side power rail and a bottom portion of the first cell is partially aligned with the second back side power rail;
a second cell that extends relative to the second direction so that a top portion of the second cell relative to the second direction is partially aligned with the second back side power rail and a bottom portion of the second cell is partially aligned with the third back side power rail;
a plurality of front side power rails that include the first front side power rail; and
a front side conduction line; and
wherein:
each of the plurality of front side power rails extends in the first direction; the front side conduction line extends in the first direction;
the front side conduction line is configured to receive a control signal;
some of the plurality of front side power rails are configured to receive the first reference power voltage;
some of the plurality of front side power rails are configured to receive the second reference power voltage;
the front side conduction line is aligned relative to the second direction with the second back side power rail and the third back side power rail; and
the front side conduction line is between a first set of the plurality of front side power rails and a second set of the plurality of front side power rails relative to the second direction.
