Abstract

Offsetting or modulating the location of a gate between two transistors may achieve a lower power circuit and a higher speed circuit depending on the new location of the gate. In one example, a gate between a PFET transistor and an NFET transistor may be offset towards the PFET transistor to achieve a higher speed circuit than a conventional circuit with the gate located equal distance between the transistors. In another example, a gate between a PFET transistor and an NFET transistor may be offset towards the NFET transistor to achieve a lower power circuit than a conventional circuit with the gate located equal distance between the transistors.
