Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for exchanging signals with one or more transistors at a front side of a semiconductor substrate. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit include a cell—such as a static random access memory (SRAM) cell—comprising transistor structures variously disposed in or on a first side of a substrate. After fabrication of such transistor structures, substrate material may be thinned to expose a second side of the substrate, opposite the first side. A first interconnect and a second interconnect are coupled each to exchange a signal or a voltage. In another embodiment, respective portions of the first interconnect and the second interconnect extend on opposite sides of the substrate, wherein the first side and the second side each extend between such interconnect portions. Positioning of interconnect structures on opposite sides of the substrate allow for performance improvements due to low interconnect resistances.

Claim (Index 36):
A method for fabricating an integrated circuit, the method comprising:\n forming one or more transistors of a cell at least in part in or on a first side of a semiconductor substrate; after forming the one or more transistors, performing thinning to expose a second side of the semiconductor substrate, the second side opposite the first side; and forming a first interconnect and a second interconnect of the integrated circuit, including coupling the first interconnect and the second interconnect each to the one or more transistors, wherein the first side and the second side each extend between a portion of the first interconnect and a portion of the second interconnect.
