Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a nanosheet stack on a substrate. A first source/drain is on a first side of the nanosheet stack and a second source/drain is on an opposing side of the nanosheet stack. A backside contact includes a first contact end on a first end of the first source/drain and an opposing second contact end in electrical communication with a backside power distribution network. A frontside contact includes a first contact end on a first end of the second source/drain and an opposing second contact end in electrical communication with a backend of line (BEOL) interconnect. A placeholder extends from an opposing second end of the second source/drain.
