  • Patent number: 11107900
    Abstract: A dual-gate transistor and its production method are disclosed. An auxiliary gate is connected to the power supply of the integrated circuits, to form thick and high square-shaped potential barrier of minority carriers adjacent to the drain electrode, while the potential barrier is transparent for the majority carriers from the source electrodes. The potential barrier can effectively inhibit reverse minority carrier tunneling from the drain electrode at large drain-source voltage. The transistor can be easily turned on at small drain-source voltage, without significantly decreasing the on-state current. The dual-gate transistor can significantly suppress ambipolar behavior with increased current on/off ratio and reduced power consumption, and maintain the high performance. Based on transistors, strengthened CMOS circuits can have high noise margin, low voltage loss, reduced logic errors, high performance and low power consumption.
