Backside fuse connected to backside back end of the line network

Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) device that includes a backside fuse structure. The backside fuse structure is located within the backside of the semiconductor IC device and may be vertically located between a microdevice and a backside back end of the line (BEOL) network. The backside fuse structure includes at least a fuse wire. The backside fuse structure may be in a non-programmed state or a programmed state. When in a non-programmed state, an open circuit exists that prevents current flow through the fuse wire. The backside fuse structure may be directly connected to a deep via contact and/or one or more conductive pathways within the backside BEOL network.
