NOVEL METHODOLOGY TO AVOID GATE STRESS FOR LOW VOLTAGE DEVICES IN FDSOI TECHNOLOGY

摘要

An inverter is implemented in an FDSOI integrated circuit die. The inverter includes a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor. The PMOS and NMOS transistors each include a first gate coupled to the respective source terminal of the transistor. The PMOS and NMOS transistors each include a back gate coupled to the input of the inverter.
