Techniques are provided herein to form an integrated circuit with a standard cell layout that can utilize both frontside and backside connections along with power vias to provide either frontside or backside power rails to the circuit. The standard cell layout may include, for example, two total transistors with one transistor being an n-channel device with the other being a p-channel device. Power vias may be arranged at the boundaries of the standard cell layout, along with both frontside and backside connections to enable either frontside or backside compatible layouts for the power delivery. In some examples, each of the devices of the standard cell may be GAA transistors that each have a number of nanoribbons or other semiconductor bodies (e.g., one to four) extending in the same direction. Other standard cell layouts may include, for example, four total transistors arranged in a NAND or a NOR configuration.
