    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) devices with stacked two-level backend memory, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed. An example IC device includes a front end of line (FEOL) layer, including frontend transistors, and a back end of line (BEOL) layer above the FEOL layer. The BEOL layer includes a first memory layer with memory cells of a first type, and a second memory layer with memory cells of a second type. The first memory layer may be between the FEOL layer and the second memory layer, thus forming stacked backend memory. Stacked backend memory architecture may allow significantly increasing density of memory cells in a memory array having a given footprint area, or, conversely, reducing the footprint area of the memory array with a given memory cell density. Implementing two different types of backend memory may advantageously increase functionality and performance of backend memory.

    Abstract: A three dimensional circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a core logic region that has first memory circuits and logic circuits. The three dimensional circuit system includes a second integrated circuit die that has second memory circuits. The first and second integrated circuit dies are coupled together in a vertically stacked configuration. The three dimensional circuit system includes third memory circuits coupled to the first integrated circuit die. The third memory circuits reside in a plane of the first integrated circuit die. The logic circuits are coupled to access the first, second, and third memory circuits and data can move between the first, second, and third memories. The third memory circuits have a larger memory capacity and a smaller memory access bandwidth than the second memory circuits. The second memory circuits have a larger memory capacity and a smaller memory access bandwidth than the first memory circuits.
