THE USE OF MULTIPLE-GATED MOSFETS IN A SIMPLE APPLICATION

We describe the design and simulation of the use of neuron MOSFETs in a simple application - that of a parallel-carry adder circuit. The neu ron MOSFETs are multigated MOSFETs where the multiple coupling to a MO SFET's gate is made capacitatively. By using such devices a multilevel logic is achieved that allows functions in a circuit to be achieved w ith fewer transistors than in a conventional CMOS design.
