Abstract

A method for forming a non-planar semiconductor device includes: forming a fin structure protruding from a front side of a substrate of the non-planar semiconductor device; depositing a dielectric region on the front side of the substrate, the dielectric region including a conductive rail buried within the dielectric region and in parallel with the fin structure; etching the dielectric region to create a first opening in the dielectric region to expose the conductive rail; depositing a plurality of conductive regions on the dielectric region, one of the conductive regions contacting the conductive rail through the first opening; etching the substrate from a backside of the substrate to form a second opening to expose the conductive rail; and filling a first conductive material into the second opening to form a through-substrate via in the substrate.
