Abstract

The disclosure is directed at a CMOS-like logic gate including a set of thin-film transistors (TFTs), the set of TFTs including a subset of pull down TFTs, a subset of diode-connected TFTs and an output pull-up transistor; and a capacitor; wherein the subset of diode-connected TFTs, the output pull-up transistor and the capacitor are positioned to provide a bootstrapped feedback network to provide full-output swing; and wherein the subset of diode-connected TFTs and one of the subset of pull-down TFTs form a leakage current path; and wherein at least one of the subset of pull-down TFTs is connected to a first input.
