Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a field effect transistor (FET) having a metal gate structure, a source and a drain over a substrate is formed. A first frontside contact disposed between dummy metal gate structures is formed over an isolation insulating layer. A frontside wiring layer is formed over the first frontside contact. A part of the substrate is removed from a backside of the substrate so that a bottom of the isolation insulating layer is exposed. A first opening is formed in the isolation insulating layer from the bottom of the isolation insulating layer to expose a bottom of the first frontside contact. A first backside contact is formed by filling the first opening with a conductive material to connect the first frontside contact.
