ABSTRACT:
Thin film logic circuits employ thin-film switching devices to execute complementary logic functions. Such logic devices operate, as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic devices do, in a manner that does not provide a direct conduction path between a system supply and a system return. Complementary logic circuits may employ three-terminal threshold switches as switching elements.
