Abstract:
1. A gate circuit having a complementary transistor structure comprising: plural transistors of different conductivity types connected respectively between first and second power source terminals and an output terminal, said transistors sharing a gate connected to an input terminal, the input terminal disposed on an input side of the gate and the output terminal disposed on an output side of the gate, opposite to the input side; wherein: plural diffusion layers are disposed along a longitudinal direction from said first power source terminal to said second power source terminal; each portion of said gate corresponding to each of said plural diffusion layers extends in the longitudinal direction, said gate having an overall length substantially equal to a distance from said first power source terminal to said second power source terminal, and a conduction channel of each of the plural transistors crosses the gate from the input side to the output side.
