Abstract
The disclosed 3D IC includes a plurality of vertically stacked device tiers, each device tier comprising an SRAM circuit, each SRAM circuit comprising an SRAM bit cell, wherein the bit cells are stacked on top of each other to define a stack of bit cells and wherein and each bit cell comprises first and second pass transistors, first pull-up and pull-down transistors, and second pull-up and pull-down transistors. The SRAM circuits have an identical layout and each SRAM circuit comprises: a single active layer forming an active semiconductor pattern of the transistors of the bit cell, and a single routing layer of horizontally routed conductive lines comprising a complementary pair of first and second bit lines connected to the bit cell of the SRAM circuit, gate lines defining gates of the transistors of the bit cell of the SRAM circuit, and wiring lines forming interconnections of the bit cell of the SRAM circuit.
