摘要:
Monolithic 3D ICs employing one or more local inter-level interconnect integrated intimately with at least one structure of at least one transistor on at least one transistor level within the 3D IC. In certain embodiments the local inter-level interconnect intersects a gate electrode or a source/drain region of at least one transistor and extends through at least one inter-level dielectric layer disposed between a first and second transistor level in the 3D IC. Local inter-level interconnects may advantageously make a direct vertical connection between transistors in different levels of the 3D IC without being routed laterally around the footprint (i.e., lateral, or planar, area) of either the overlying or underlying transistor level that is interconnected.

摘要:
A voltage level sustaining circuit for an IGFET driver circuit having an output node includes a first IGFET coupled between a voltage supply conductor and an output node of a driver circuit. The gate of the first IGFET is coupled to a source of a second IGFET having its gate and drain connected to the voltage supply conductor. A boosting capacitor is connected between the gate of the first IGFET and a conductor to which a refresh pulse is applied. The refresh pulse need be applied only often enough and be of sufficient magnitude to turn on the first IGFET sufficiently hard that the output node is held at the voltage of the voltage supply conductor.
