ABSTRACT:
A gate array base cell which can easily be configured as high conductivity transistor device or a low conductivity transistor device comprises a moat region of first conductivity type, typically heavily doped n-type silicon or heavily doped p-type silicon, for example. A channel region of a different conductivity type separates the moat region into at least three portions. An insulating layer, such as silicon dioxide, for example, and a gate are formed above the channel region. The gate may be formed of polysilicon, for example. Modifications, variations, circuit configurations and an illustrative fabrication method are also disclosed.
