INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18637013 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) CELL
The abstract describes an integrated circuit with a read-only memory (ROM) cell that includes an on-cell. The on-cell consists of a first source/drain region, a second source/drain region, a frontside contact connecting the first source/drain region to a bit line on the front side, and a backside contact connecting the second source/drain region to a power line on the back side. The bit line provides a bit line signal to the on-cell, while the power line supplies a power supply voltage signal to the on-cell. The bit line and power line are vertically aligned with each other.

Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes a read only memory (ROM) cell which includes an on-cell. The on-cell includes: a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region; a frontside contact between the first source/drain region and a bit line on a front side of the on-cell; and a backside contact between the second source/drain region and a power line on a back side of the on-cell. The bit line is configured to provide a bit line signal to the on-cell, and the power line is configured to provide a power supply voltage signal to the on-cell. The bit line and the power line are vertically aligned with each other.
