Abstract

Lithographic methodologies involving, and apparatuses suitable for, inline circuit edits are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a device layer including a plurality of transistor structures. A front-end routing layer is above the device layer, the front-end routing layer coupled to one or more of the plurality of transistors. A backside metal structure is below the device layer. A conductive feedthrough structure is directly coupling the backside metal structure to the front-end routing layer. The conductive feedthrough structure is a monolithic structure extending through the device layer.
