US Patent 11476181 3D semiconductor device and structure with metal layers

A 3D semiconductor device including: a first level including a single crystal silicon layer and a plurality of first transistors each including a single crystal channel; a first metal layer overlaying the plurality of first transistors; a second metal layer overlaying the first metal layer; a third metal layer overlaying the second metal layer; a second level, where the second level overlays the first level and includes a plurality of second transistors; a fourth metal layer overlaying the second level; and a connective path between the fourth metal layer and either the third metal layer or the second metal layer, where the connective path includes a via disposed through the second level and has a diameter of less than 500 nm and greater than 5 nm, where the third metal layer is connected to provide a power or ground signal to at least one of the second transistors.
