TRANSISTOR CIRCUIT WITH ASYMMETRICAL DRAIN AND SOURCE

Abstract:

The parasitic capacitance of a transistor may be reduced by mismatching the source and drain. Faster low finger count transistors may be achieved with lower drain capacitance and a frequency gain on the D1 inverter as described for the examples herein. In one such example, a transistor includes a source and a drain wherein a length of the source is more than a length of the drain, a width of the source is more than a width of the drain, or a height of the source is more than a height of the drain.
