  • Publication number: 20240021613
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first transistor disposed over a substrate, a second transistor disposed over the first transistor, and a conductive trace. The first transistor includes first conductive segments, corresponding to drain and source terminals of the first transistor and extending in a first direction, on a first layer. The second transistor includes second conductive segments, corresponding to drain and source terminals of the second transistor and extending in the first direction, on a second layer above the first layer. The conductive trace extends on a third layer. The first to third layers are separated from each other in the first direction, and the third layer is interposed between the first and second layers. The first conductive segments, the second conductive segments, and the conductive trace overlap in a layout view.
