Abstract
A semiconductor structure is provided in which a phase change memory (PCM) device region including a PCM is located in a back side of a wafer. A PCM device back side source/drain contact structure connects the PCM to a first source/drain structure of a first field effect transistor (FET) that is present in a front side of the wafer, the second source/drain structure of the first FET is connected to a front side BEOL structure by a front side source/drain contact structure. A logic device region and/or an analog device region can be located laterally adjacent to the PCM device region. A back side power distribution network can be present in the logic device region and/or an analog device region.
