Abstract
An improved Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) semiconductor device having a first and second asymmetric transistor, each having a source, a body, a gate, and a drain. The respective gates and drains of the asymmetric transistors are connected together such that a transistor pair is formed which is operable as a single symmetric transistor. An NMOS transistor pair may be connected in parallel with a PMOS transistor pair so as to form a symmetric Pass Gate.
