Patent attributes
A semiconductor device includes a first PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, and a second NMOS transistor connected to an output node of the first PMOS and NMOS transistors. The first PMOS transistor includes first nanowires, first source and drain regions on opposite sides of each first nanowire, and a first gate completely surrounding each first nanowire. The first NMOS transistor includes second nanowires, second source and drain regions on opposite sides of each second nanowire, and a second gate extending from the first gate and completely surrounding each second nanowire. The second NMOS transistor includes third nanowires, third source and drain regions on opposite sides of each third nanowire, and a third gate, separated from the first and second gates, and completely surrounding each third nanowire. A number of third nanowires is greater than that of first nanowires. The first and second gates share respective first and second nanowires.
