DUAL GATE FET STRUCTURES FOR FLEXIBLE GATE ARRAY DESIGN METHODOLOGIES

摘要

A gate array cell adapted for standard cell design methodology or programmable gate array that incorporates a dual gate FET device to offer a range of performance options within the same unit cell area. The conductivity and drive strength of the dual gate device may be selectively tuned through independent processing of manufacturing parameters to provide an asymmetric circuit response for the device or a symmetric response as dictated by the circuit application.
