ABSTRACT:
A neuron MOSFET based module for use in the design and layout of binary logic circuits. In a first embodiment, the module is composed of four neuron MOSFETs arranged symmetrically to form a unit which may be combined with other such units to form more complex circuits. The MOSFETs are either n-channel or p-channel transistors. Each MOSFET has an associated floating gate and coupling region which can be selectively connected to the adjacent transistors in the module. Inputs to the module may be capacitively coupled to one or more of the coupling regions through an overlaying gate structure or by an appropriate set of doped substrate regions. Variations to the basic module structure include an embodiment formed from three neuron MOSFETs and the use of both n-channel and p-channel devices in the same module.
