Abstract
A gate contact is formed within a gate cut region of a semiconductor structure to facilitate electrical routing. The gate contact includes a bottom portion extending within the gate cut region and adjoining a vertical end portion of a metal gate. A metal layer on the front side of the semiconductor structure includes signal tracks, one or more of which is vertically above the gate cut region. A signal track in the metal layer may be electrically connected to the gate contact. Selected source/drain regions within the semiconductor structure may be electrically connected to a back side power delivery network.
