ABSTRACT:
A masterslice semiconductor device is provided, which reduces or eliminates unused transistors. In the basic cells of the masterslice semiconductor device, each transistor is formed as electrically independent from the others; i.e., each transistor has an individual gate electrode and has an individual region for the source and drain. Terminals formed in parallel to the gate channel of each transistor permits interconnection of the electrodes in a basic cell array using a straight wiring pattern. Such a straight interconnection reduces the effective number of wiring channels needed for a unit cell, and facilitates construction of a larger scale unit cell in a basic cell array.
