Schmitt-Landsiedel %J Advances in Radio Science : Kleinheubacher Berichte %D 2009 %I Copernicus Publications %X Circuits with transistors using independently controlled gates have been proposed to reduce the number of transistors and to increase the logic density per area. This paper introduces a novel Vertical Slit Field Effect Transistor with unique independent double gate properties to demonstrate the possible advantages for independent double gate circuits. A new adder circuit is proposed, where the power could be reduced by one fifth and the area by on third compared to a tied gate configuration. %U http://www.adv-radio-sci.net/7/231/2009/ars-7-231-2009.pdf
