  • Publication number: 20020063582
    Abstract: A pass-transistor logic circuit configuration that can form a high-speed chip in a small area with short wire length In a selector circuit PMOS and NMOS transistors with different gate signals but with the same drain outputs are arranged, respectively, so their diffusion layers are shared. The PMOS and NMOS are staggered so that their gates are almost in line. With this arrangement, wires connecting drains of the PMOS and NMOS and wires connecting sources of the PMOS and NMOS do not intersect each other, so they can be wired with only the first wiring layer. Further, gate input signals can be wired with only polysilicon wires without crossing each other. The pass-transistor logic circuit is made to pass through the signal buffers before or after it is connected to the selector. This can make a compact, fast circuit.

  • Patent number: 6388474
    Abstract: For the relation between the first and second pass-transistor circuits (PT1, PT2), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the gate of the succeeding-stage, and for the relation between the second and third pass-transistor circuits (PT2, PT3), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the source-drain path of the succeeding-stage. The first pass-transistor circuit (PT1) receives on its first input node (In1) and second input node (In2) the first input signal and the second input signal that are logically independent from each other. This logic circuit requires a smaller number of transistors and is capable of reducing the power consumption and delay and accomplishing an intricate logic function.

    Abstract: A micro pump is made compact and can prevent members constituting the micro pump from being chemically reacted with a working fluid, and a method of producing the same. After each of substrates constituting the micro pump is formed by a member containing a silicone as a main composition and a plurality of metal membranes are formed on a whole of a bonding surface of each of the substrates so as to form bonding surfaces, the bonding surfaces are cleaned, and the bonding surfaces are opposed to each other under a vacuum condition, overlapped, heated and pressed so as to be bonded. The valve portion has a beam and a protrusion for sealing as provided in the valve side, whereby a pressure applied to the protrusion becomes smaller than the bonding pressure.
