Power distribution network for 3D logic and memory

Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a transistor stack having a plurality of transistor pairs that are stacked over a substrate. Each transistor pair of the plurality of transistor pairs includes a n-type transistor and a p-type transistor that are stacked over one another. The plurality of transistor pairs have a plurality of gate electrodes that are stacked over the substrate and electrically coupled to gate structures of the plurality of transistor pairs, and a plurality of source/drain (S/D) local interconnects that are stacked over the substrate and electrically coupled to source regions and drain regions of the plurality of transistor pairs. The semiconductor device further includes one or more conductive planes formed over the substrate. The one or more conductive planes are positioned adjacent to the transistor stack, span a height of the transistor stack and are electrically coupled to the transistor stack.
