    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a semiconductor device. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a first transistor strata. The first transistor strata comprises a first backbone, a first transistor adjacent to a first edge of the first backbone, and a second transistor adjacent to a second edge of the first backbone. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device further comprises a second transistor strata over the first transistor strata. The second transistor strata comprises a second backbone, a third transistor adjacent to a first edge of the second backbone, and a fourth transistor adjacent to a second edge of the second backbone.

    Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising stacked first and second transistor structures. One of a source, drain or gate terminal of an upper-level transistor structure is coupled to one of a source, drain or gate terminal of a lower-level transistor structure through an asymmetrical interconnect having a lateral width that increases within a dimension parallel to a semiconductor sidewall of the upper-level transistor by a greater amount than in an orthogonal dimension. A dielectric material between the upper and lower transistor structures may be anisotropically etched asymmetrically by orienting a workpiece to be non-orthogonal to a reactive ion flux. Varying an angle between the reactive ion flux and a plane of the second transistor during an etch of the dielectric material may ensure an etched opening is of sufficient bottom dimension to expose a terminal of the lower-level transistor even if not perfectly aligned with the second transistor structure.
