Abstract

Various structures that implement topside metal routing and backside metal routing in combination with vertical transistors are disclosed. The various structures include a building block cell with a metal contact layer between the backside metal routing and the vertical transistors. Various connections can be made within the building block cell to form more complex structures such as, but not limited to, inverter devices, NAND devices, and MUX (multiplexer) devices.
