Abstract
A gate array is disclosed having a plurality of basic cells each comprising a transistor whose gm is as low as one fifth to one twentieth that of the transistors in a conventional gate array. The low gm is provided by reducing the W/L ratio of the gate region of the transistor. The basic cell having the transistor of the low gm is formed to replace the conventional basic cell at a specified position in a specified basic cell array. The transistor of low gm reduces the number of basic cells necessary for forming a delay circuit, and elminates the need for an external resistance component which was formerly required when a pull-up or pull-down circuit or a monostable multivibrator was formed in the gate array.
