Abstract

In an uncommitted logic array each cell comprises a plurality of transistors arranged in a symmetrical pattern. Four pairs of complementary IGFETS (6A, 8A, and C) are arranged in the concentric pattern shown. In each pair of transistors the gates are linked to a common terminal (24A), the outer device has individual source and drain terminals, and the inner device has source and drain terminals (32A, 30A) one (32A) being individual to the device and the other being shared with the internal transistor of the adjacent pair. A central power terminal 34 two earth terminals (36, 38) and a plurality of peripheral buried connections (64) are also provided. A customised metallisation layer may be designed to commit the array to the desired logic function, the layout of the cells providing good packing density while facilitating the interconnection of devices within the cell and also to other cells. <IMAGE>
