    Abstract: A method of designing a 3D Integrated Circuit including: partitioning at least one design into at least two levels, a first level and a second level; levels connection pads between the first level and the second level; providing placement data of the second level; performing a placement of the first level using a placer executed by a computer, where the placement of the first level is based on the placement of the levels connection pads, where the placer is part of a Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool, where the first level includes first routing layers; performing a routing of the first level by routing layers using a router executed by a computer, where the router is a part of the CAD tool or a part of another CAD tool, where at least one metal routing layer is in-between the first level first transistors and the second level second transistors.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device including: a first silicon layer including a first single crystal silicon layer; first transistors with a single crystal channel and overlaid by a first metal layer; overlaid by a second metal layer; overlaid by a third metal layer; a second level with second transistors and including a metal gate, and then disposed over the third metal layer; the second level is overlaid by a third level with third transistors; and then overlaid by a fourth metal layer; fourth overlaid by a fifth metal layer; a via disposed through the second level; the device includes at least one temperature sensor; the fifth metal layer average thickness is greater than the third metal layer average thickness by at least 50%; at least one element within at least one of the second transistors has been processed independently of the third transistors.
