Abstract

In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a channel structure extending between a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. Further, a gate electrode is arranged directly over the channel structures, and an upper interconnect contact is arranged over and coupled to the gate electrode. A backside contact is arranged below and coupled to the first source/drain region. The backside contact has a width that decreases from a bottommost surface of the backside contact to a topmost surface of the backside contact.
