Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a gate structure, a source epitaxial structure, a drain epitaxial structure, a front-side interconnection structure, a backside dielectric layer, an epitaxial regrowth layer, and a backside via. The source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure are respectively on opposite sides of the gate structure. The front-side interconnection structure is over a front-side of the source epitaxial structure and a front-side of the drain epitaxial structure. The backside dielectric layer is over a backside of the source epitaxial structure and a backside of the drain epitaxial structure. The epitaxial regrowth layer is on the backside of a first one of the source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure. The backside via extends through the backside dielectric layer and overlaps the epitaxial regrowth layer.
