    摘要: A circuit includes a resistance-capacitance (RC) structure connected to a first set of transistors and a second set of transistors that perform the same logical function as the first set of transistors. The first set of transistors have thinner gate oxides than the second set of transistors. The RC structure drains an electric field from the first set of transistors, such that the first set of transistors are on only during initial transistor switching. In other words, the RC structure turns off the first set of transistors after transistor switching is completed. Also, the first set of transistors and the second set of transistors share common inputs and outputs. The first set of transistors exhibit higher tunneling currents than the second set of transistors. The thinner gate oxides of the first set of transistors cause the first set of transistors to exhibit higher device currents than the second set of transistors. The RC structure includes a capacitor connected to a gate of the first set of transistors and a resistor connected to the capacitor and to ground.

    摘要: A circuit for selectively controlling the slew rate of a signal on a data line. A capacitor is connected at one end to a common terminal of a power supply and to a switching circuit. The switching circuit advantageously connects the capacitor to the data line in response to a control pulse, capacitively loading the data line so that slew rate is decreased. When the control pulse assumes a different state, the capacitor is connected by the switching circuit to a terminal of a power supply, and acts as a decoupling capacitor. The dual role of the capacitor provides for efficient circuit layout by utilizing one component in two functions.

    摘要: A body contact structure utilizing an insulating structure between the body contact portion of the active area and the transistor portion of the active area is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention substitutes an insulator for at least a portion of the gate layer in the regions between the transistor and the body contact. In another embodiment, a portion of the gate layer is removed and replaced with an insulative layer in regions between the transistor and the body contact. In still another embodiment, the insulative structure is formed by forming multiple layers of gate dielectric between the gate and the body in regions between the transistor and the body contact. The body contact produced by these methods adds no significant gate capacitance to the gate.
