Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit structure is provided, including a gate, a first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines, and a first feed-through via. The gate is disposed on a front side of the integrated circuit structure and extends in a first direction on a first side of a dielectric layer. The first conductive line and a pair of second conductive lines are disposed on a second side, opposite of the first side, of the dielectric layer and on a back side, opposite of the front side, of the integrated circuit structure. The first conductive line is interposed between the pair of second conductive lines in a layout view. The first feed-through via extends through the dielectric layer in a second direction different from the first direction. The first feed-through via couples the gate to the first conductive line.
