Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing thereof

Abstract

A method includes doping a region through a first surface of a semiconductor substrate; forming a plurality of doped structures within the semiconductor substrate, wherein each of the plurality of doped structures extends along a vertical direction and is in contact with the doped region; forming a plurality of transistors over the first surface, wherein each of the transistors comprises one or more source/drain structures electrically coupled to the doped region through a corresponding one of the doped structures; forming a plurality of interconnect structures over the first surface, wherein each of the interconnect structures is electrically coupled to at least one of the transistors; and testing electrical connections between the interconnect structures and the transistors based on detecting signals present on the doped region through a second surface of the semiconductor substrate, the second surface opposite to the first surface.
