    摘要: This disclosure relates to complementary field effect transistor (CFET) devices, and provides improved routability of the transistor structures in a CFET cell. The disclosure presents a CFET cell that includes a first transistor structure in a first tier and a second transistor structure in a second tier above the first tier. A first power rail is arranged below the first tier and connected to the first transistor structure from below, and a second power rail is formed in a first metal layer and connected to the second transistor structure from a first side. A set of signal routing lines formed in a second metal layer above the second tier is connected to the first and second transistor structure from above. Further, a signal routing structure formed in a metal zero (M0) layer is connected to the first transistor structure and/or to the second transistor structure from a second side.

    摘要: Integrated circuit chips and method for making integrated circuit chips are provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a device layer including a forksheet device on the substrate and providing the substrate with a substrate part of a dielectric wall of the forksheet device, a first shallow trench isolation and a second shallow trench isolation. The method also includes contacting a source or drain contact and extending into the substrate between the first shallow trench isolation and the dielectric wall, then removing the substrate material so as to expose an end of the dielectric wall, the first surface, and the second surface, then obtaining a first spacer and a second spacer, so as to obtain a trench, wherein the end of the dielectric wall is exposed to the trench, then depositing an electrically insulating material in the trench so as to form an extension.
