Abstract
An inverter includes a semiconductor substrate. A Z2-FET switch is disposed at a first surface of the semiconductor substrate and a further switch is disposed at the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The further switch and the Z2-FET switch have current paths coupled between a first reference terminal and a second reference terminal.
