Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices within a standard unit cell having topside metal tracks that are offset from backside metal tracks. Stacked transistors are provided such that a source or drain region of one device is located vertically over the source or drain region of the other device. Both frontside and backside contacts may be formed to contact either top or bottom surfaces of the corresponding source or drain regions. Topside metal tracks are used to provide signal and power to various transistor elements of the top semiconductor device while backside metal tracks are used to provide signal and power to various transistor elements of the bottom semiconductor device. The topside tracks are offset from the backside tracks such that one topside track is aligned along one boundary of a standard unit cell and one backside track is aligned along the opposite standard unit cell boundary.
