Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes an isolation structure formed on a substrate, a gate-all-around transistor structure formed on the isolation structure, a via electrically coupled to a gate terminal of the gate-all-around transistor structure, and a buried conductive pad formed within the isolation structure and electrically coupled to the via. The buried conductive pad can extend through the isolation structure in two dimensions, such as in both a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension. The semiconductor structure can provide advantages in terms of routing flexibility, among other possible advantages.
