Abstract
A method of circuit tuning, including: applying a first positive voltage and a second positive voltage to a circuit structure, the circuit structure including a p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) device with a flipped well transistor and an n-type metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) device; adjusting a first threshold voltage in response to the first positive voltage being applied to a p-well region of the NMOS device and adjusting a second threshold voltage in response to the second positive voltage being applied to the p-well region of the PMOS device; and compensating the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage through a backgate of the PMOS device and the NMOS device relative to a same common mode voltage.
