INTEGRATED CIRCUITS WITH BACKSIDE POWER RAILS

Semiconductor devices and methods are provided. A method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a substrate that includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a third semiconductor layer; forming a plurality of fins over the third semiconductor layer; forming a trench between two of the plurality of fins; depositing a dummy material in the trench; forming a gate structure over channel regions of the plurality of the fins; forming source/drain features over source/drain regions of the plurality of the fins; bonding the substrate on a carrier wafer; removing the first and second semiconductor layers to expose the dummy material; removing the dummy material in the trench; depositing a conductive material in the trench; and bonding the substrate to a silicon substrate such that the conductive material is in contact with the silicon substrate. The trench extends through the third semiconductor layer and has a bottom surface on the second semiconductor layer.
