Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for fabricating a semiconductor structure including an inverter chain. An example semiconductor structure includes a first device layer, a second device layer, and one or more inter-layer connection structures. The first device layer is formed on a substrate and includes one or more first inverter structures. The second device layer is formed on the first device layer and includes one or more second inverter structures. The one or more inter-layer connection structures are configured to electrically connect to the first inverter structures and the second inverter structures.
