Abstract
A semiconductor structure and method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure having a front side and an opposing backside. An early power delivery network (EBPDN) of wires is built above a substrate layer. Buried power rails (BPRs) are built above levels of the PDN and connected to the EBPDN by short length via connections that can be self-aligned to the back side buried power rails. Both BPRs and vias connections have a common metallization. A front side level of transistor devices are built at the front side of the structure above the BPRs. The resulting formed buried power rail structure has an aspect ratio of height:width greater than 4:1, a height >3 times a height of the formed via structure; and a via structure having a length greater than a height of the formed conductive power rail structure.
