Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a channel having layers of silicon separated from each other; a metal gate in contact with the layers of silicon; source/drain regions adjacent to the metal gate; a frontside power rail extending through the layers of silicon; a dielectric separating the frontside power rail from the metal gate; a via-connect buried power rail extending through the dielectric and coupling the frontside power rail to the source/drain regions; and a backside power rail coupled to the frontside power rail. The layers of silicon are wrapped on three sides by the metal gate.
