Abstract

An LSI layout includes a logic function section and a series connection array of two MOSFETs, one end of which array is coupled to a power source voltage and the other end of which array is coupled to ground potential. A fixed logic output is produced at a junction point of the two MOSFETs by providing one MOSFET as an enhance-type MOSFET and providing the other MOSFET as a depletion type MOSFET. A logic circuit is provided which is connected with the junction point of the MOSFET array and with the logic section and is operable to couple the output of the logic section to an output side thereof. Two logic sections may be respectively associated with two logic circuits one of which is operable to couple the output of one logic section to an output thereof for its practical use and the other of which is operable not to couple the output of the other logic section to an output side thereof. The selection of the used section and the unused section is determined by the selection of either one of MOSFETs to depletion type. The LSI layout further may include a circuit section including MOSFETs. In that case, a single mask may be used in introducing a selected MOSFET of the MOSFET array an…
