As shown in FIG. 2 , the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 includes an inverter 401 and a buffer 402 , and the inverter 401 and the buffer 402 are connected in parallel to the first DC voltage terminal and the second DC voltage terminal. For example, the inverter 401 and the buffer 402 are connected in parallel between the power supply voltage VDD and the ground.

反相器401的输入端口与缓冲器402的输入端口耦合连接,形成该共轭逻辑门电路400的输入端口IN,反相器401的共轭输入端口与缓冲器402的共轭输入端口耦合连接,形成该共轭逻辑门电路400的共轭输入端口IN’。反相器401的输出端口和缓冲器402的输出端口中的一个形成该共轭逻辑门电路400的输出端口OUT,另一个形成该共轭逻辑门电路400的共轭输出端口OUT’。The input port of the inverter 401 is coupled to the input port of the buffer 402 to form the input port IN of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400, and the conjugate input port of the inverter 401 is coupled to the conjugate input port of the buffer 402. , forming the conjugate input port IN′ of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 .

It can be understood that the conjugated logic gate circuit 400 provided in this application is an inverter (Inverter) including a conjugated input port and a conjugated output port as shown in FIG. 3 , wherein the input and the conjugated The conjugated inputs (IN and IN') can come from the output of the previous stage and the conjugated outputs (OUT and OUT').
从而,若将该共轭逻辑门电路400应用在更为复杂的电路中时,可以实现级联。比如,在一些场景中,可以将图2所示的共轭逻辑门电路400应用在SRAM存储器中时,如图4所示的是SRAM存储器中的其中一个存储单元的电路图。在该存储单元中,包括了由图2所示逻辑门电路形成的第一共轭逻辑门电路400a和第二共轭逻辑门电路400b,第一共轭逻辑门电路400a和第二共轭逻辑门电路400b电连接,形成了该存储单元的核心结构。Therefore, if the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 is applied in a more complex circuit, cascade connection can be realized. For example, in some scenarios, when the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 shown in FIG. 2 can be applied to an SRAM memory, FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of one of the storage units in the SRAM memory. In this storage unit, the first conjugate logic gate circuit 400a and the second conjugate logic gate circuit 400b formed by the logic gate circuit shown in Fig. 2 are included, the first conjugate logic gate circuit 400a and the second conjugate logic gate circuit 400a are Gate circuit 400b is electrically connected to form the core structure of the memory cell.

In this logic gate circuit, the gate and drain of the transistor T1 are short-circuited and used as a pull-up transistor, and the transistor T2 is a pull-down transistor. .
在图5所示的逻辑门电路中,当晶体管T2导通开启时,由于晶体管T1的栅极与漏极短接,从而,晶体管T1也处于导通开启状态。这样的话,就会导致很大的高静态漏电流和功耗较大。In the logic gate circuit shown in FIG. 5 , when the transistor T2 is turned on, since the gate and the drain of the transistor T1 are short-circuited, the transistor T1 is also turned on. In this case, it will result in a large high quiescent leakage current and a large power consumption.

For example, transistors can also be added on the basis of FIG. 2 , and the added transistors can be connected in series with the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 , or in parallel, or a combination of series and parallel.

For example, FIG. 2 illustrates that all transistors in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 are NFET transistors, and FIG. 6 illustrates that all transistors in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 are PFET transistors. That is to say, the conjugate logic gate circuit given in this application is a unipolar conjugate logic gate.
以图2所示的NFET型共轭逻辑门电路400为例,第一晶体管T1的第一电极和第二晶体管T2的第一电极电连接,并用于电连接第一直流电压端,比如,如图2和图6所示的第一晶体管T1的第一电极和第二晶体管T2的第一电极均连接电源电压VDD。Taking the NFET conjugate logic gate circuit 400 shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T2, and is used to electrically connect the first DC voltage terminal, for example, as The first electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the second transistor T2 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 are both connected to the power supply voltage VDD.

第二晶体管T2的栅极与第三晶体管T3的栅极电连接,并形成有共轭逻辑门电路400的输入端口IN。The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 to form an input port IN of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 .
第三晶体管T3的第二电极与第四晶体管T4的第二电极电连接,并用于电连接第二直流电压端,比如接Vss或者接地(Ground,GND)。The second electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, and is used to electrically connect to the second DC voltage terminal, such as Vss or ground (Ground, GND).
第四晶体管T4的第一电极与第二晶体管T2的第二电极电连接,即第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4串联,并形成有共轭逻辑门电路400的共轭输出端口OUT’。The first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2, that is, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected in series, and form a conjugate output port OUT' of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400.
第四晶体管T4的栅极与第一晶体管T1的栅极电连接,并形成有共轭逻辑门电路400的共轭输入端口IN’。The gate of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T1, and forms a conjugate input port IN' of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 .
如图2和图6所示的,由于第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2均与电源电压VDD连接,进而第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2可以被认为是上拉晶体管,除外,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4均可以接地,则第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4可以被认为是下拉晶体管。As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6, since both the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be considered as pull-up transistors, except that the third transistor Both T3 and the fourth transistor T4 can be grounded, then the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 can be regarded as pull-down transistors.
需要说明的是:本申请涉及的晶体管的第一电极指的是源极和漏极中的其中一个,晶体管的第二电极指的是源极和漏极中的另外一个。比如,在图2所示的由NFET型晶体管形成的共轭逻辑门电路400中,第一晶体管T1的第一电极指的是与电源电压VDD连接的漏极,则第二电极就是源极。类似的,在图5所示的由PFET型晶体管形成的共轭逻辑门电路400中,对于PFET型晶体管,与电源电压VDD连接的源极,另一个电极就是漏极。It should be noted that: the first electrode of the transistor referred to in this application refers to one of the source and the drain, and the second electrode of the transistor refers to the other of the source and the drain. For example, in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 formed by NFET transistors shown in FIG. 2 , the first electrode of the first transistor T1 refers to the drain connected to the power supply voltage VDD, and the second electrode is the source. Similarly, in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 formed by PFET transistors shown in FIG. 5 , for the PFET transistors, the source connected to the power supply voltage VDD and the other electrode is the drain.
另外,需要解释的是:输入端口IN和共轭输入端口IN’指的是:输入端口IN传输的信号与共轭输入端口IN’传输的信号的共轭的、反相的。输出端口OUT和共轭输出端口OUT’指的是:输出端口OUT传输的信号与共轭输出端口OUT’传输的信号的共轭的、反相的。比如,高电平“1”的反相或共轭信号就是低电平“0”。在实现时,初始的共轭输入IN’具体实现上可以由IN经过一个单输入单输出的反相器(如单输入单输出的CMOS反相器)产生,随后的共轭输入IN’可以由上一次的共轭输出OUT’产生。In addition, it needs to be explained that: the input port IN and the conjugated input port IN' refer to: the conjugated and inverted phase of the signal transmitted by the input port IN and the signal transmitted by the conjugated input port IN'. The output port OUT and the conjugated output port OUT' refer to: the conjugated and inverted phase of the signal transmitted by the output port OUT and the signal transmitted by the conjugated output port OUT'. For example, the inversion or conjugate signal of a high level "1" is a low level "0". In implementation, the initial conjugate input IN' can be specifically realized by IN passing through a single-input and single-output inverter (such as a single-input and single-output CMOS inverter), and the subsequent conjugate input IN' can be generated by The last conjugate output OUT' is generated.
图2所示的NFET型共轭逻辑门电路400为例,其工作原理可以理解为:当输入端口IN为低电位(0V)时,共轭输入端口IN’为高电位(VDD),第一晶体管T1和第四晶体管T4均处于开态,而第二晶体管T2和第三晶体管T3均处于关态,这样,VDD通过第一晶体管T1给连接至输出端口OUT的下一级负载充电,直到输出端口OUT端达到VDD或第一晶体管T1的栅源电压(Vgs)等于0V。而共轭输出端口OUT’端通过第四晶体管T4向地放点直至0V。因此,最终输出端口OUT和共轭输出端口哦OUT’分别为高电位(VDD或VDD-Vth)和低电位(0V)。其中,若上拉第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的阈值电压Vth均大于0,则输出端口OUT最终稳定在VDD-Vth,否则将稳定至VDD。The NFET-type conjugate logic gate circuit 400 shown in FIG. 2 is taken as an example, and its working principle can be understood as: when the input port IN is at a low potential (0V), the conjugate input port IN' is at a high potential (VDD), and the first Both the transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are in the on state, while the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are in the off state, so that VDD charges the next stage load connected to the output port OUT through the first transistor T1 until the output The port OUT terminal reaches VDD or the gate-source voltage (Vgs) of the first transistor T1 is equal to 0V. And the conjugated output port OUT' is connected to the ground through the fourth transistor T4 until 0V. Therefore, the final output port OUT and the conjugate output port OUT' are high potential (VDD or VDD-Vth) and low potential (0V) respectively. Wherein, if the threshold voltages Vth of the pull-up first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both greater than 0, the output port OUT is finally stable at VDD-Vth, otherwise it is stable at VDD.
也可以这样理解本申请的共轭逻辑门电路400,本申请的共轭逻辑门电路400是通过共轭的输入信号控制的,这样的话,在静态保持阶段,可以不会使得第一晶体管T1和第三晶体管T3同时处于导通开启状态,以及,第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4不会同 时导通,从而,可以实现低静态漏电现象。The conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application can also be understood in this way. The conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application is controlled by a conjugated input signal. In this way, in the static hold phase, the first transistor T1 and The third transistor T3 is turned on at the same time, and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are not turned on at the same time, so that low static leakage can be achieved.
在本申请中所述的“漏电流”指的是:如图2和图6中的第一电压源和第二电压源之间的漏电流,也就是晶体管的第一电极和第二电极之间的漏电流。The "leakage current" mentioned in this application refers to: the leakage current between the first voltage source and the second voltage source as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6, that is, between the first electrode and the second electrode of the transistor leakage current between them.
下面结合图4所示的存储器介绍采用本申请的共轭逻辑门电路,是如何实现低静态功耗的。The following describes how to achieve low static power consumption by using the conjugate logic gate circuit of the present application in conjunction with the memory shown in FIG. 4 .
如图4所示的,在该存储单元的写入操作中:字线WL接收高电平信号,选通管Ts1和选通管Ts2均导通。若写入高电平时,位线BL接收高电平信号,共轭位线BL’接收低电平信号,若为输入端口Q为高电平,输出端口Q’为低电平时,即输入端口Q和输出端口Q’原有的信号与位线BL和共轭位线BL’信号相同时,信号保持不变,若输入端口Q为低电平,输出端口Q’为高电平时,则位线BL和共轭位线BL’通过两个选通管将输入端口Q和输出端口Q’信号翻转为输入端口Q为高电平,输出端口Q’为低电平,而后,字线WL接收低电平信号,令选通管Ts1和选通管Ts2关断,已经被写入信号的Q和Q’端口的电平通过锁存器结构的正向反馈进行信号保持,完成写入操作。当写入低电平时,与上述的高电平写入过程同理,在此不再赘述。As shown in FIG. 4 , in the writing operation of the memory cell: the word line WL receives a high-level signal, and both the gate transistor Ts1 and the gate transistor Ts2 are turned on. If the high level is written, the bit line BL receives a high level signal, and the conjugate bit line BL' receives a low level signal. If the input port Q is high level and the output port Q' is low level, that is, the input port When the original signal of Q and output port Q' is the same as the signal of bit line BL and conjugate bit line BL', the signal remains unchanged. If the input port Q is low level and the output port Q' is high level, the bit line The line BL and the conjugated bit line BL' reverse the signals of the input port Q and the output port Q' through two gate transistors, so that the input port Q is at a high level and the output port Q' is at a low level, and then the word line WL receives The low-level signal turns off the gate transistor Ts1 and the gate transistor Ts2, and the levels of the Q and Q' ports that have been written into the signal are held by the positive feedback of the latch structure to complete the write operation. When writing a low level, it is the same as the above-mentioned high level writing process, and will not be repeated here.
在完成写入操作之后,会包括信号静态保持阶段。那么,在信号静态保持阶段,第一共轭逻辑门电路400a和第二共轭逻辑门电路400b的任一并列通路中,仅有一个晶体管处于导通状态,另一个处于关断状态。比如,当逻辑门电路中的晶体管均为NFET时,在写入高电平后(Q为高电平,Q’为低电平),晶体管T3a、晶体管T2a、晶体管T1b和晶体管T4b均处于导通状态,晶体管T1a、晶体管T4a、晶体管T3b和晶体管T2b均处于关断状态。After the write operation is complete, a signal static hold phase is included. Then, in the signal static holding phase, in any parallel path of the first conjugated logic gate circuit 400a and the second conjugated logic gate circuit 400b, only one transistor is in the on state, and the other is in the off state. For example, when the transistors in the logic gate circuit are all NFETs, after writing a high level (Q is high level, Q' is low level), the transistor T3a, transistor T2a, transistor T1b and transistor T4b are all in the conduction state. The transistor T1a, the transistor T4a, the transistor T3b and the transistor T2b are all in the off state.
由上述形成的存储单元也可以看出,当采用本申请给出的共轭逻辑门电路400时,在信号静态保持阶段,可以实现低静态功耗,从而,可以降低整个SRAM存储器的功耗。It can also be seen from the memory cells formed above that when the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 provided in the present application is used, low static power consumption can be achieved during the static signal holding phase, thereby reducing the power consumption of the entire SRAM memory.
本申请给出的共轭逻辑门电路400除了可以实现低静态功耗之外,晶体管数量也较小,如图6所示的,在一个共轭逻辑门电路400中,仅包括四个晶体管,就可以得到共轭输入和共轭输出的反相器。结构简单,晶体管数量少,就可以提升包含该逻辑门电路的集成电路的集成密度。In addition to realizing low static power consumption, the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 provided in this application has a relatively small number of transistors. As shown in FIG. 6, a conjugate logic gate circuit 400 only includes four transistors. An inverter with conjugate input and conjugate output can be obtained. The structure is simple and the number of transistors is small, which can increase the integration density of the integrated circuit including the logic gate circuit.
除此之外,本申请的共轭逻辑门电路400中,可以无需额外反馈结构和电容结构,进而,可以实现高速响应。In addition, in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application, no additional feedback structure and capacitor structure may be needed, and further, high-speed response may be achieved.
在本申请给出的共轭逻辑门电路400中,对晶体管的结构不做特殊限定,比如,可以采用单栅晶体管或者双栅晶体管,示例的,如图2和图6采用的是单栅晶体管,如图7a和图7b采用的是双栅晶体管,其中,在图7a所示的共轭逻辑门电路400中,双栅晶体管是NFET型双栅晶体管,而图7b所示的是由PFET型双栅晶体管形成的共轭逻辑门电路400。In the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 given in this application, there is no special limitation on the structure of the transistor, for example, a single-gate transistor or a double-gate transistor can be used, for example, a single-gate transistor is used in Figure 2 and Figure 6 , as shown in Figure 7a and Figure 7b, a double-gate transistor is used, wherein, in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 shown in Figure 7a, the double-gate transistor is an NFET type double-gate transistor, and that shown in Figure 7b is a PFET type Conjugate logic gate circuit 400 formed by double-gate transistors.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the double-gate transistor includes a first electrode 02 and a second electrode 03, and a The channel 01 between the second electrodes 03. Moreover, the gate of the double-gate transistor includes a first gate 061 and a second gate 062, the first gate 061 is formed on one side of the channel 01 through the first gate dielectric layer 04, and the second gate 062 is formed through the second The gate dielectric layer 05 is formed on the other side of the channel 01 . The first grid 061 may also be called a top gate (Top Gate), and the second grid 062 is called a bottom gate (Bottom Gate).
当共轭逻辑门电路400中的晶体管采用双栅晶体管时,如图8所示的,第一栅极061和第二栅极062相连接,并与输入端口或者共轭输入端口连接。比如,当第一晶体管T1采用双栅晶体管时,那么,相连接的第一栅极061和第二栅极062与共轭输入端口IN’连接。When the transistors in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 are double-gate transistors, as shown in FIG. 8 , the first gate 061 and the second gate 062 are connected to the input port or the conjugate input port. For example, when the first transistor T1 is a double-gate transistor, then the connected first gate 061 and the second gate 062 are connected to the conjugate input port IN'.
在一些可以实现的电路图中,第一晶体管T1至第四晶体管T4全部可以采用图7a和图7b所示的双栅晶体管。在另外一些可以实现的电路图中,第一晶体管T1至第四晶体管T4中的部分采用双栅晶体管,部分采用其他结构的晶体管,比如,部分采用单栅晶体管,其他部分采用双栅晶体管。In some realizable circuit diagrams, all of the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 can be double-gate transistors as shown in FIG. 7a and FIG. 7b. In other circuit diagrams that can be implemented, some of the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 use double-gate transistors, and some use transistors with other structures, for example, some use single-gate transistors, and other parts use double-gate transistors.
采用双栅晶体管的共轭逻辑门电路400中,使其在短沟道情况时,可以更好地控制沟道开关,并拥有较低的亚阈值摆幅,从而在一定阈值电压(threshold voltage)的情况下拥有更大的开态电流(On Current)以及响应速度。In the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 using a double-gate transistor, it can better control the channel switch in the case of a short channel, and has a lower sub-threshold swing, so that at a certain threshold voltage (threshold voltage) In the case of a larger on-state current (On Current) and response speed.
还有,晶体管的栅极结构可以采用不同的设置方式,例如,可以是鳍式场效应晶体管、环栅晶体管、垂直结构纳米线场效应晶体管等。In addition, the gate structure of the transistor can be arranged in different ways, for example, it can be a fin field effect transistor, a ring gate transistor, a vertical structure nanowire field effect transistor, and the like.
除此之外,本申请的共轭逻辑门电路400可以调节上拉晶体管(第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2)和下拉晶体管(第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4)的阈值电压(threshold voltage)不同,使得上拉晶体管的阈值电压Vth小于或者等于0,而下拉晶体管的阈值电压Vth大于0,以实现该逻辑门电路输出的零电位损失。In addition, the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application can adjust the threshold voltage (threshold voltage) of the pull-up transistor (the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2) and the pull-down transistor (the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4). ) are different, so that the threshold voltage Vth of the pull-up transistor is less than or equal to 0, and the threshold voltage Vth of the pull-down transistor is greater than 0, so as to realize zero potential loss of the output of the logic gate circuit.
例如,上拉晶体管和下拉晶体管不同的阈值电压Vth可以通过调节晶体管沟道材料、调节栅极功函数,调节偶极子,以及背栅电压调节等方式实现。For example, the different threshold voltage Vth of the pull-up transistor and the pull-down transistor can be realized by adjusting the channel material of the transistor, adjusting the gate work function, adjusting the dipole, and adjusting the back gate voltage.
下面给出了几种从改变电路连接关系角度,实现上拉晶体管和下拉晶体管不同的阈值电压Vth的方法。并且,下面的上拉晶体管和下拉晶体管阈值电压的调节均是在双栅晶体管的基础上实现的,且是通过调节双栅中的一个栅极的电压来调节晶体管在导通时的阈值电压。Several methods for realizing different threshold voltages Vth of the pull-up transistor and the pull-down transistor from the perspective of changing the circuit connection relationship are given below. Moreover, the following adjustment of the threshold voltage of the pull-up transistor and the pull-down transistor is realized on the basis of the double-gate transistor, and the threshold voltage of the transistor when it is turned on is adjusted by adjusting the voltage of one gate of the double-gate.
如图9所示的本申请的一种共轭逻辑门电路400的电路图。具体的,可以把双栅的上拉第一晶体管T1的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极与输出端口OUT连接,同样的,可以把双栅的上拉第二晶体管T2的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极与共轭输出端口OUT’连接。这相当于对上拉晶体管施加了一个额外的恒等于0V的栅极电压。通过在制造中调节该栅极对应的栅介质厚度,可以等效地实现对上拉晶体管的阈值电压Vth进行调节。同理,该方法也可以对下拉晶体管进行阈值电压调节,此处不再赘述。FIG. 9 is a circuit diagram of a conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application. Specifically, one of the top gate and bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up first transistor T1 can be connected to the output port OUT. Similarly, the top gate and bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up second transistor T2 can be connected One of the gates is connected to the conjugate output port OUT'. This is equivalent to applying an additional gate voltage constant to 0V to the pull-up transistor. By adjusting the gate dielectric thickness corresponding to the gate during manufacture, the threshold voltage Vth of the pull-up transistor can be adjusted equivalently. Similarly, this method can also adjust the threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor, which will not be repeated here.
图10给出了图9中的上拉晶体管中的其中一种调节阈值电压Vth可以实现的工艺结构图。见图10,是将第二栅极(底栅)062与晶体管的第一电极02连接,因为该第一电极02是与输出端口连接的,进而,实现了底栅与输出端口OUT的电连接。除外,第一栅极(顶栅)061与输入端口IN电连接。FIG. 10 shows a process structure diagram of one of the pull-up transistors in FIG. 9 that can adjust the threshold voltage Vth. As shown in Fig. 10, the second gate (bottom gate) 062 is connected to the first electrode 02 of the transistor, because the first electrode 02 is connected to the output port, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the bottom gate and the output port OUT . Besides, the first gate (top gate) 061 is electrically connected to the input port IN.
在一些其他可以实现的方式中,也可以是顶栅与输出端口OUT电连接,底栅与输入端口IN电连接。In some other possible manners, the top gate may also be electrically connected to the output port OUT, and the bottom gate may be electrically connected to the input port IN.
如图11所示的本申请的又一种共轭逻辑门电路400的电路图。具体的,可以把双栅晶体管中的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极与偏置电压Vbias连接。通过该Vbias偏压可以单独调节晶体管的阈值电压,实现上拉晶体管和下拉晶体管中不同的阈值电压。四个晶体管连接的偏置电压可以不相同。FIG. 11 is a circuit diagram of another conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application. Specifically, one of the top gate and the bottom gate of the double-gate transistor may be connected to the bias voltage Vbias. The threshold voltage of the transistor can be individually adjusted through the Vbias bias, so as to realize different threshold voltages in the pull-up transistor and the pull-down transistor. The bias voltages to which the four transistors are connected can be different.
如图11所示的,可以给共轭逻辑门电路400中的每一个晶体管的栅极(顶栅或底栅)连接偏置电压Vbias;或者,可以只给上拉晶体管的栅极(顶栅或底栅)连接偏置电压Vbias,下拉晶体管不连接偏置电压Vbias;又或者,可以只给下拉晶体管的栅极(顶栅或底栅)连接偏置电压Vbias,上拉晶体管不连接偏置电压Vbias。当部分晶体管不连接偏置电压Vbias时,可以将不连接偏置电压Vbias的晶体管的顶栅和底栅相连接,或者与输出端口相连接。As shown in FIG. 11 , the gate (top gate or bottom gate) of each transistor in the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 can be connected with the bias voltage Vbias; or, only the gate of the pull-up transistor (top gate or bottom gate) is connected to the bias voltage Vbias, and the pull-down transistor is not connected to the bias voltage Vbias; or, only the gate (top gate or bottom gate) of the pull-down transistor can be connected to the bias voltage Vbias, and the pull-up transistor is not connected to the bias voltage Voltage Vbias. When some transistors are not connected to the bias voltage Vbias, the top gate and bottom gate of the transistors not connected to the bias voltage Vbias can be connected, or connected to the output port.
图12给出了图11中的上拉或下拉晶体管中的其中一种调节阈值电压Vth可以实现的工艺结构图。见图12,是将第二栅极(底栅)062与偏置电压Vbias连接。采用这种方式可以理解为通过背栅(底栅)电压,来调节阈值电压Vth。FIG. 12 shows a process structure diagram of one of the pull-up or pull-down transistors in FIG. 11 that can be realized by adjusting the threshold voltage Vth. Referring to FIG. 12 , the second gate (bottom gate) 062 is connected to the bias voltage Vbias. Adopting this method can be understood as adjusting the threshold voltage Vth through the back gate (bottom gate) voltage.
当然,在其他一些可以实现的方式中,也可以是第一栅极061(顶栅)与偏置电压Vbias连接。Certainly, in some other implementable manners, the first gate 061 (top gate) may also be connected to the bias voltage Vbias.
本申请给出的共轭逻辑门电路400的晶体管在长期工作后可能产生的Vth偏移会导致逻辑电路工作点偏移,产生混乱的逻辑和时序状态。而在背栅额外施加的Vbias可以通过外部控制电路调控晶体管的Vth,根据需要将Vth调节回初始状态,使用该逻辑门电路的性能更优。The possible Vth shift of the transistors of the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 given in the present application after long-term operation will lead to the shift of the operating point of the logic circuit, resulting in chaotic logic and timing states. The additional Vbias applied to the back gate can regulate the Vth of the transistor through an external control circuit, and adjust the Vth back to the initial state as needed. The performance of using this logic gate circuit is better.

Specifically, one of the top gate and the bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up first transistor T1 can be connected to the first DC voltage terminal (such as VDD). Similarly, the double-gate pull-up second transistor T1 can be connected to One of the top gate and the bottom gate of T2 is connected to the first DC voltage terminal (such as VDD). The threshold voltage Vth of the pull-up transistor is adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the gate dielectric corresponding to the gate during manufacture.
在一些其他可以实现的方式中,也可以是上拉晶体管的顶栅与VDD电连接,底栅与输入端口IN电连接。或者,可以是上拉晶体管的底栅与VDD电连接,顶栅与输入端口IN电连接。In some other possible ways, the top gate of the pull-up transistor may also be electrically connected to VDD, and the bottom gate of the pull-up transistor may be electrically connected to the input port IN. Alternatively, the bottom gate of the pull-up transistor may be electrically connected to VDD, and the top gate may be electrically connected to the input port IN.
如图14所示的本申请的再一种共轭逻辑门电路400的电路图。具体的,可以把双栅的上拉第一晶体管T1的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极通过晶体管(也可以叫调压晶体管)T5与输出端口OUT和VDD电连接,同样的,可以把双栅的上拉第二晶体管T2的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极通过晶体管T6与共轭输出端口OUT’和VDD电连接。FIG. 14 is a circuit diagram of another conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application. Specifically, one of the top gate and bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up first transistor T1 can be electrically connected to the output port OUT and VDD through the transistor (also called a voltage regulating transistor) T5. Similarly, the One of the top gate and the bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the conjugated output port OUT′ and VDD through the transistor T6.
具体的,如图14,晶体管T5的第一电极与第一晶体管T1的栅极(第一栅极或者第二栅极)电连接,晶体管T5的第二电极与VDD电连接,晶体管T5的栅极与输出端口OUT电连接。晶体管T6的第一电极与第二晶体管T2的栅极(第一栅极或者第二栅极)电连接,晶体管T6的第二电极与VDD电连接,晶体管T6的栅极与共轭输出端口OUT’电连接。也就是说,通过额外增加晶体管结构,也可以实现对上拉晶体管的阈值电压Vth进行调节。Specifically, as shown in Figure 14, the first electrode of the transistor T5 is electrically connected to the gate (first gate or second gate) of the first transistor T1, the second electrode of the transistor T5 is electrically connected to VDD, and the gate of the transistor T5 pole is electrically connected with the output port OUT. The first electrode of the transistor T6 is electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor T2 (the first gate or the second gate), the second electrode of the transistor T6 is electrically connected to VDD, and the gate of the transistor T6 is connected to the conjugate output port OUT' electrical connection. That is to say, by adding an additional transistor structure, the threshold voltage Vth of the pull-up transistor can also be adjusted.
当采用图14所示的阈值电压调节方式时,当输出端口Out为高电位时,既上拉晶体管打开时,输出端口Out电位控制晶体管T5导通,VDD连接第一晶体管T1的栅极,使得第一晶体管T1的阈值电压减小到小于或者等于0。When the threshold voltage adjustment method shown in FIG. 14 is adopted, when the output port Out is at a high potential, that is, when the pull-up transistor is turned on, the output port Out potential control transistor T5 is turned on, and VDD is connected to the gate of the first transistor T1, so that The threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 decreases to be less than or equal to zero.
如图15所示的本申请的又一种共轭逻辑门电路400的电路图。具体的,可以把双栅的上拉第一晶体管T1的顶栅和底栅中的一个栅极通过反馈电路(Feedback Circuit)与输出端口OUT和VDD电连接,同样的,可以把双栅的上拉第二晶体管T2的顶栅和底 栅中的一个栅极通过反馈电路(Feedback Circuit)与共轭输出端口OUT’和VDD电连接。同上述图14对比,也就是可以将晶体管替换为反馈电路。这种反馈电路可以在上拉晶体管导通时,通过增大与反馈电路相连接栅极的电压来实时降低上拉晶体管的阈值电压。既上拉晶体管本身的阈值电压可以大于零,仅当开启时获得小于等于零的实时阈值电压。这个方法可以进一步降低逻辑门400的静态功耗。FIG. 15 is a circuit diagram of another conjugate logic gate circuit 400 of the present application. Specifically, one of the top gate and the bottom gate of the double-gate pull-up first transistor T1 can be electrically connected to the output port OUT and VDD through a feedback circuit (Feedback Circuit). Pulling one of the top gate and the bottom gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the conjugated output port OUT' and VDD through a feedback circuit (Feedback Circuit). Compared with FIG. 14 above, that is, the transistor can be replaced by a feedback circuit. This feedback circuit can reduce the threshold voltage of the pull-up transistor in real time by increasing the voltage of the gate connected to the feedback circuit when the pull-up transistor is turned on. That is, the threshold voltage of the pull-up transistor itself can be greater than zero, and a real-time threshold voltage less than or equal to zero can be obtained only when it is turned on. This method can further reduce the static power consumption of the logic gate 400 .
上述的图9至图15中,是通过改变逻辑门电路内电子元件的连接关系,实现了阈值电压的调节。相比从改变晶体管内部结构,比如,改变沟道材料、改变栅极材料,从工艺角度更容易实现,进而,采用本申请给出的图9至图15的调节阈值电压的方式,不会给工艺带来额外的复杂度。另外,还可以提供更优的阈值电压Vth。当然也可以结合工艺上的调节手段,如栅极功函数调节、偶极子调节、沟道材料调节,和电路连接方式一起对阈值电压进行调控。In the above-mentioned FIGS. 9 to 15 , the adjustment of the threshold voltage is realized by changing the connection relationship of the electronic components in the logic gate circuit. Compared with changing the internal structure of the transistor, such as changing the channel material and changing the gate material, it is easier to implement from the perspective of technology. Furthermore, the method of adjusting the threshold voltage in Figures 9 to 15 given in this application will not give Craft brings additional complexity. In addition, a better threshold voltage Vth can also be provided. Of course, the threshold voltage can also be adjusted in combination with the adjustment means in the process, such as the adjustment of the gate work function, the adjustment of the dipole, the adjustment of the channel material, and the circuit connection method.

Specifically, in the case of a conjugate input (IN/IN') at 2.5GHz, the conjugate inverter (that is, the conjugate logic gate circuit 400) can realize a conjugate output (OUT/OUT') with zero potential loss . At the same time, under static working conditions, the leakage current (Leakage Current) of the conjugate inverter can be controlled in the order of nA/μm.

随着半导体技术的发展,芯片的三维堆叠作为制程发展的趋势,在芯片三维堆叠技术中,单片集成(monolithic Integration)具有成本低和互联密度高的优势,逐渐被广泛采用。比如,可以将包含上述共轭逻辑门电路400的部分数字逻辑电路,与其他集成电路模组被集成在一个芯片中,并且,其他集成电路模组通过前道(front end of line,FEOL)制程被集成在处理器中,包含上述共轭逻辑门电路400的数字逻辑电路通过后道(back end of line,BEOL)制程集成在处理器中。With the development of semiconductor technology, the three-dimensional stacking of chips is the trend of process development. In the three-dimensional stacking technology of chips, monolithic integration has the advantages of low cost and high interconnection density, and is gradually being widely used. For example, part of the digital logic circuit including the above-mentioned conjugate logic gate circuit 400 can be integrated into one chip with other integrated circuit modules, and the other integrated circuit modules can be processed through the front end of line (FEOL) process. To be integrated in the processor, the digital logic circuit including the above-mentioned conjugate logic gate circuit 400 is integrated in the processor through a back end of line (BEOL) process.
那么,由于数字逻辑电路采用后道BEOL制程,进而,形成共轭逻辑门电路400的晶体管不仅需要高迁移率,还需要兼具低温生长的特性。比如,在可以实现的工艺手段中,可以采用电子型的无定形氧化物半导体(amorphous oxide semiconductor,AOS)场效应晶体管制作上述的逻辑门电路。Then, since the digital logic circuit adopts the back end BEOL process, furthermore, the transistor forming the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 not only needs to have high mobility, but also needs to have the characteristics of low temperature growth. For example, in the process means that can be realized, the above-mentioned logic gate circuit can be fabricated by using an electronic amorphous oxide semiconductor (amorphous oxide semiconductor, AOS) field effect transistor.
当采用后道BEOL制程制得上述共轭逻辑门电路400时,因为该共轭逻辑门电路400具有低静态漏电、电位零损失等优势,可以避免后道逻辑电路产生高功耗以及时序混乱等现象。When the above-mentioned conjugate logic gate circuit 400 is manufactured by adopting the back-end BEOL process, because the conjugate logic gate circuit 400 has the advantages of low static leakage and zero potential loss, it can avoid high power consumption and timing confusion of the back-end logic circuit.

That is, the transistor T10 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected in series.
需要解释的是,在图19所示的或非门(NOR)电路中,并未示出各个晶体管的栅极的连接关系。具体的是,第一晶体管T1的栅极与第四晶体管T4的栅极电连接,形 成共轭输入端口A’;第二晶体管T2的栅极与第三晶体管T3的栅极电连接,形成输入端口A;晶体管T7的栅极与晶体管T10的栅极电连接,形成共轭输入端口B’;晶体管T8的栅极与晶体管T9的栅极电连接,形成输入端口B。从而,形成了图19所示的或非门输出端口(A+B)’,以及或非门共轭输出端口A+B。It should be explained that, in the NOR circuit shown in FIG. 19 , the connection relationship of the gates of each transistor is not shown. Specifically, the gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor T4 to form a conjugate input port A'; the gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 to form an input Port A; the gate of transistor T7 is electrically connected to the gate of transistor T10 to form a conjugate input port B'; the gate of transistor T8 is electrically connected to the gate of transistor T9 to form input port B.

图20示出的是图19的电路图的电路符号,一并结合图19和图20,可以看出,该或非门(NOR)包含了两组共轭的输入端口(包括A/A’和B/B’),和两个共轭的输出端口(包括(A+B)’/A+B)。What Fig. 20 shows is the circuit symbol of the circuit diagram of Fig. 19, combined with Fig. 19 and Fig. 20, it can be seen that the NOR gate (NOR) includes two sets of conjugated input ports (including A/A' and B/B'), and two conjugated output ports (including (A+B)'/A+B).
在图19所示的或非门(NOR)电路中,比如,第一晶体管T1导通,第三晶体管T3则关断,而晶体管T7导通,晶体管T9则关断。即就是说,不会出现位于第一直流电压端和第二直流电压端之间的通路上的晶体管同时导通,这样,就可以降低该或非门(NOR)电路的静态功耗。In the NOR gate circuit shown in FIG. 19, for example, the first transistor T1 is turned on, the third transistor T3 is turned off, the transistor T7 is turned on, and the transistor T9 is turned off. That is to say, the transistors on the path between the first DC voltage terminal and the second DC voltage terminal will not be turned on at the same time, so that the static power consumption of the NOR gate (NOR) circuit can be reduced.
再比如,图21给出了一种基于上述的逻辑门电路的共轭与非门(NAND)电路。见图21所示的,共轭与非门(NAND)电路除包括上述的第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4之外,该共轭与非门(NAND)电路还包括晶体管T7、晶体管T8、晶体管T9和晶体管T10。第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4的连接关系上述已经进行了说明,在此不再赘述。As another example, FIG. 21 shows a conjugate NAND gate (NAND) circuit based on the above-mentioned logic gate circuit.

The connection relationship of the first transistor T1 , the second transistor T2 , the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 has been described above, and will not be repeated here.
晶体管T7的第一电极与第一直流电压端(如VDD)电连接,晶体管T7的第二电极与第一晶体管T1的第二电极电连接。即晶体管T7和第一晶体管T1并联。The first electrode of the transistor T7 is electrically connected to the first DC voltage terminal (such as VDD), and the second electrode of the transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1. That is, the transistor T7 and the first transistor T1 are connected in parallel.

That is, the transistor T10 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected in parallel.
在图21所示的与非门(NAND)电路中,并未示出各个晶体管的栅极的连接关系。具体的是,第一晶体管T1的栅极与第四晶体管T4的栅极电连接,形成共轭输入端口A’;第二晶体管T2的栅极与第三晶体管T3的栅极电连接,形成输入端口A;晶体管T7的栅极与晶体管T10的栅极电连接,形成共轭输入端口B’;晶体管T8的栅极与晶体管T9的栅极电连接,形成输入端口B。从而,形成了图21所示的与非门输出端口(AB)’,以及与非门共轭输出端口AB。In the NAND gate circuit shown in FIG. 21 , the connection relationship of the gates of the respective transistors is not shown. Specifically, the gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor T4 to form a conjugate input port A'; the gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 to form an input Port A; the gate of transistor T7 is electrically connected to the gate of transistor T10 to form a conjugate input port B'; the gate of transistor T8 is electrically connected to the gate of transistor T9 to form input port B. Thus, the NAND gate output port (AB)' shown in Fig. 21, and the NAND gate conjugate output port AB are formed.
图22示出的是图21的电路的电路符号,一并结合图21和图22,可以看出,该与非门(NAND)包含了两组共轭的输入端口(包括A/A’和B/B’),和两个共轭的输出端口(包括(AB)’/AB)。What Fig. 22 shows is the circuit symbol of the circuit of Fig. 21, in combination with Fig. 21 and Fig. 22, it can be seen that the NAND gate (NAND) includes two sets of conjugated input ports (including A/A' and B/B'), and two conjugated output ports (including (AB)'/AB).
同理的,在图21所示的与非门(NAND)电路中,示例的,第一晶体管T1导通,第三晶体管T3则关断,而晶体管T7导通,晶体管T9则关断。即不会出现位于第一直流电压端和第二直流电压端之间的通路上的晶体管同时导通,这样,同样的可以降低该与非门(NAND)电路的静态功耗。Similarly, in the NAND gate circuit shown in FIG. 21 , for example, the first transistor T1 is turned on, the third transistor T3 is turned off, the transistor T7 is turned on, and the transistor T9 is turned off. That is, the transistors on the path between the first DC voltage terminal and the second DC voltage terminal will not be turned on at the same time, so that the static power consumption of the NAND gate (NAND) circuit can also be reduced.
另外,由于共轭输出的存在,上述的与非门(NAND)、或非门(NOR)也可以同时作为与门(AND)和或门(OR)被使用。In addition, due to the existence of the conjugate output, the above-mentioned NAND gate (NAND) and NOR gate (NOR) can also be used as an AND gate (AND) and an OR gate (OR) at the same time.
在上述的与非门(NAND)电路、或非门(NOR)电路中的晶体管T7、晶体管T8、晶体管T9和晶体管T10的极型,和第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4的极型相同。比如,在图19中,第一晶体管T1至晶体管T10均为NFET晶体管时形成的或非门(NOR)可以被称为单极型N型共轭NOR门;类似的,若第一晶体管T1至晶体管T10均为PFET晶体管时形成的逻辑门,可以被称为单极型P型共轭NOR门。The pole type of transistor T7, transistor T8, transistor T9 and transistor T10 in the above-mentioned NAND gate (NAND) circuit or NOR gate (NOR) circuit, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 It is the same as the pole type of the fourth transistor T4. For example, in FIG. 19, the NOR gate (NOR) formed when the first transistors T1 to T10 are all NFET transistors can be called a unipolar N-type conjugate NOR gate; similarly, if the first transistors T1 to The logic gate formed when the transistors T10 are all PFET transistors can be called a unipolar P-type conjugate NOR gate.
图19至图22仅是基于上述的共轭逻辑门电路400形成的示例性的部分逻辑门,在其他实现方式中,还可以形成更为复杂的逻辑门电路,比如与或非门(And-Or-Inverter,AOI)加法器(Full-Adder)、解码器(Decoder)等,在此不再穷举。19 to 22 are only exemplary partial logic gates formed based on the above-mentioned conjugate logic gate circuit 400.

由图23所示的锁存器500可以看出,除包括四个与非门电路以外,不包含其他的逻辑门结构。It can be seen from the latch 500 shown in FIG. 23 that it does not contain other logic gate structures except four NAND gate circuits.
图24是基于图23所述的锁存器结构,给出的一种触发器600的电路图。具体的,该触发器600包括第一锁存器500a和第二锁存器500b。并且,第一锁存器500a的输出端口Q与第二锁存器500b的输入信号D电连接,第一锁存器500a的输出端口Q’与第二锁存器500b的反输入信号D’电连接。FIG. 24 is a circuit diagram of a flip-flop 600 based on the latch structure described in FIG. 23 . Specifically, the flip-flop 600 includes a first latch 500a and a second latch 500b. Moreover, the output port Q of the first latch 500a is electrically connected to the input signal D of the second latch 500b, and the output port Q' of the first latch 500a is connected to the inverted input signal D' of the second latch 500b. electrical connection.
图25给出了图24所示的由单极型(N型)共轭NAND逻辑门组成的D触发器经过三级级联的时序仿真结果。由图25可以得出:当CLK在下降沿的时候(从1到0),Data信号可以传至触发器的Q输出(图25中的DFF1-3指的是该三级级联的第一级到第三级触发器对应的Q输出)。可以看到DFF1输出Q在CLK下降沿时根据Data输入发生了翻转,其他时候保持不变。而DFF2和DFF3因为级联在第二级和第三级,需要等待DFF1的输出Q先在第一个CLK下降沿翻转后,等到第二和第三个CLK下降沿才会翻转。意思就是D在第一个CLK下降沿传输到DFF1的输出,在第二个CLK下降沿从DFF1的输出传输到DFF2的输出,以此类推。也就是说,本申请给出的逻辑门电路共轭逻辑结构能够满足复杂逻辑电路级联的要求。FIG. 25 shows the timing simulation results of the three-level cascaded D flip-flop composed of unipolar (N-type) conjugate NAND logic gates shown in FIG. 24 . From Figure 25, it can be concluded that when CLK is on the falling edge (from 1 to 0), the Data signal can be transmitted to the Q output of the flip-flop (DFF1-3 in Figure 25 refers to the first stage to the Q output corresponding to the third stage flip-flop). It can be seen that the output Q of DFF1 flips according to the Data input at the falling edge of CLK, and remains unchanged at other times. However, because DFF2 and DFF3 are cascaded in the second and third stages, it is necessary to wait for the output Q of DFF1 to flip on the first CLK falling edge, and then wait until the second and third CLK falling edges to flip. This means that D is transferred to the output of DFF1 on the first falling edge of CLK, transferred from the output of DFF1 to the output of DFF2 on the second falling edge of CLK, and so on. That is to say, the conjugate logic structure of the logic gate circuit presented in this application can meet the requirement of cascading complex logic circuits.

在图26所示的锁存器500,和图28所示的触发器600中,选通管可以和逻辑门电路中的晶体管的极型一样,比如,均采用NFET晶体管,或者均采用PFET晶体管。In the latch 500 shown in FIG. 26 and the flip-flop 600 shown in FIG. 28, the gate transistor can be of the same pole type as the transistor in the logic gate circuit, for example, both use NFET transistors, or both use PFET transistors .

When the clock signal CLK is a high voltage, the input signals D and D' charge the gate capacitance of IN1 and IN1' to CLK-Vth (Vth is the threshold voltage of the gate transistor Ts11/Ts21); when the clock signal is a low voltage, The voltage at the IN1 terminal will be maintained for a certain period of time according to the leakage of the gate tube and the gate capacitance; after a certain period of time, it is necessary to raise the CLK to a high level for refreshing to prevent IN1 from powering down.
另外,在图28和图29所示的D触发器中,晶体管的数量为12个,这样的话,晶体管的数量相比传统的CMOS的D触发器更少,比如,将该触发器应用在处理器中时,可以实现处理器的高密度集成。还有,当这些晶体管均采用无定形氧化物半导体晶体管时,可以采用后道工艺制得该数字逻辑电路,实现半导体器件的三维、高密度集成。In addition, in the D flip-flop shown in Fig. 28 and Fig. 29, the number of transistors is 12. In this case, the number of transistors is less than that of the traditional CMOS D flip-flop. For example, the flip-flop is applied to process In the processor, high-density integration of the processor can be realized.
