Abstract
A gate array circuit includes a row of consecutively arranged n-channel transistors and an adjacent row of p-channel transistors. Both rows are composed of at least three subrows with two subrows of narrow transistors and one subrow of wide transistors, of which the channel width is at least three times the width of the narrow transistors. The gate electrodes are common to the three subrows. Preferably, the wide subrow is arranged centrally between the narrow subrows. This construction affords the advantage of a very high density and a very high flexibility in designing the functions to be realized.
