BACKGROUND

Conventionally, it has been known that, due to efforts for miniaturization of semiconductor devices, NMOS and PMOS transistors are stacked, and semiconductor devices are formed of three-dimensional circuits. However, even if one layer of an NMOS transistor and one layer of a PMOS transistor are stacked on each other, there is a risk that the device density per substrate unit area may be small.
