Abstract
A method of implementing a transistor circuit comprises coupling first and second transistors in parallel, wherein the first transistor has a channel length corresponding to a peak in the transistor's voltage threshold curve arising from reverse short channel effects, and the second transistor has a longer channel length and, therefore, a lower threshold voltage. Exploiting reverse short channel effects in this manner enables the implementation of 'composite' transistor circuits that exhibit improved linearity.
