Abstract
A logic circuit is formed on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate in the thin silicon layer above the insulating buried oxide layer. The logic circuit utilizes both SOI field effect transistors (FETs) and SOI diodes to provide for reduced size of the logic circuit and reduced power consumption when the logic circuit is in operation. A method of performing certain logic function is also provided.
