Methods, systems, and devices for double side back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization for pseudo through-silicon via (pTSV) integration are described. An integrated circuit (IC) may include multiple metallic layers integrated within multiple layers of a multi-dimensional integrated stack (e.g., a three dimensional (3D) integrated stack). By performing a BEOL metallization process, the integrated circuit may implement techniques for 3D vertical chip integration. For example, a first set of layers may be formed during a first portion of a BEOL process and a second portion of the BEOL process may integrate a second set of metallic layers as well as a buried power delivery network (PDN). The metallic layers may form a number of pTSVs and may promote a PDN to experience a reduced PDN IR drop. The PDN may be integrated and the pTSVs may be formed by integrating the metallic layers within a number of dielectric layers.
