Abstract
A self-aligned buried power rail having an adjustable height is formed between a first semiconductor device region and a second semiconductor device region. The self-aligned buried power rail having the adjustable height has improved conductivity. Notably, the self-aligned buried power rail has a first portion having a first height that is present in a gate cut trench and a second portion having a second height, which is greater than the first height, that is present in a source/drain cut trench.
