摘要： Integrated circuits such as programmable integrated circuits may have configuration random-access memory elements. The configuration random-access memory elements may be loaded with configuration data to customize programmable circuitry on the integrated circuits. Each memory element may have a bistable element that is powered using a positive power supply voltage and a negative power supply voltage. Programmable transistors in the programmable circuitry may have gates coupled to outputs of the bistable elements. The programmable transistors may have gate insulators that are thinner than gate insulators in the transistors of the bistable elements and may have threshold voltages of about zero volts. During operation, some of the configuration random-access memory elements may supply negative voltages to their associated programmable transistors so that the programmable transistors are provided with gate-source voltages of less than zero volts.

摘要： Asymmetric transistors may be formed by creating pocket implants on one source-drain terminal of a transistor and not the other. Asymmetric transistors may also be formed using dual-gate structures having first and second gate conductors of different work functions. Stacked transistors may be formed by stacking two transistors of the same channel type in series. One of the source-drain terminals of each of the two transistors is connected to a common node. The gates of the two transistors are also connected together. The two transistors may have different threshold voltages. The threshold voltage of the transistor that is located higher in the stacked transistor may be provided with a lower threshold voltage than the other transistor in the stacked transistor. Stacked transistors may be used to reduce leakage currents in circuits such as memory cells. Asymmetric transistors may also be used in memory cells to reduce leakage.

摘要： An integrated circuit with memory elements is provided. The memory elements may have memory element transistors with body terminals. Body bias control circuitry may supply body bias voltages that strengthen or weaken memory element transistors to improve read and write margins. The body bias control circuitry may dynamically control body bias voltages so that time-varying body bias voltages are supplied to memory element transistors. Address transistors and latch transistors in the memory elements may be selectively strengthened and weakened. Process variations may be compensated by weakening fast transistors and strengthening slow transistors with body bias adjustments.

摘要： Asymmetric transistors such as asymmetric pass transistors may be formed on an integrated circuit. The asymmetric transistors may have gate structures. Symmetric pocket implants may be formed in source-drains on opposing sides of each transistor gate structure. Selective heating may be used to asymmetrically diffuse the implants. Selective heating may be implemented by patterning the gate structures on a semiconductor substrate so that the spacing between adjacent gate structures varies. A given gate structure may be located between first and second adjacent gate structures spaced at different respective distances from the given gate structure. A larger gate structure spacing leads to a greater substrate temperature rise than a smaller gate structure spacing. The pocket implant diffuses more in portions of the substrate with the greater temperature rise, producing asymmetric transistors. Asymmetric pass transistors may be controlled by static control signals from memory elements to implement circuits such as programmable multiplexers.
