A new vertical MOSFET "Vertical Logic Circuit (VLC) MOSFET" suppressing asymmetric characteristics and realizing an ultra compact and robust logic circuit

The asymmetric characteristics of the conventional vertical MOSFET are examined. To reduce the IR drop influences of the diffusion resistance for the vertical MOSFET, a new vertical MOSFET for the Vertical Logic Circuit (VLC) configuration, which separates the current paths of small currents from large currents, has been proposed.
