Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a first backside metal rail that extends across the structure and a second backside metal rail parallel and adjacent to the first backside metal rail. The first and second backside metal rails bound a first circuit row. The structure also includes a backside signal wire that interrupts the second backside metal rail; and a third backside metal rail that extends across the structure parallel and adjacent to the second backside metal rail. The second and third backside metal rails bound a second circuit row. The structure also includes gate metal pitches, which extend across the structure perpendicular to the backside metal rails. The structure also includes a frontside signal wire above the gate metal pitches; and a signal via that penetrates the structure and connects the backside signal wire to the frontside signal wire.
