Logic gate cell

摘要

To provide a small-area and low-power-consuming logic gate cell which is constructed of a circuit of two inverting logic gates connected in series in a layout of four-step diffusion regions. A first inverting logic gate is formed of a small transistor on internal two-step diffusion regions, a second inverting logic gate is formed of external two-step diffusion regions, and output wirings of the second inverting logic gate are formed of second metal layer wirings so that the second metal layer wirings extend over the first inverting logic gate.
