Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a first upper source/drain region, a second upper source/drain region, a first lower source/drain contact, a second lower source/drain contact, and a third conductive region. The first upper source/drain contact is disposed at a first elevation. The second upper source/drain contact is disposed at the first elevation. The first lower source/drain contact is disposed at a second elevation. The second lower source/drain contact is disposed at the second elevation. The third conductive region is disposed at a third elevation. A projection area of the third conductive region is disposed between a projection area of the first upper source/drain contact and a projection area of the second upper source/drain contact. The third elevation is disposed between the first elevation and the second elevation.
