A simple analytical formula for three-dimensional Fermi surface (3D FS) of Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ is derived in the framework of LCAO approximation spanned over Cu 4s, Cu 3dx2-y2 , O 2px and O 2py states. This analytical result can be used for fitting of experimental data for 3D FS such as polar angle magnetoresistance oscillation. The model takes into account effective copper-copper hopping amplitude tss between Cu 4s orbitals from neighbouring CuO2 layers. The acceptable correspondence with the experimental data gives a hint that the tss amplitude dominates in formation of coherent 3D FS, and other oxygen-oxygen and copper-oxygen amplitudes are rather negligible. For absolute determination of the hopping parameters a simple electronic experiment with a field effect transistor type microstructure is suggested. The thin superconductor layer is the source-drain channel of the layered structure where an AC current is applied.
