Abstract

Illustrative embodiments provide a field-programmable transistor array and a method of making an integrated circuit comprising a field-programmable transistor array. The field-programmable transistor array comprises a plurality of logic cells. Each of the plurality of logic cells comprises a plurality of columns of transistors. Each of the plurality of columns of transistors comprises a plurality of first transistors and a plurality of second transistors. Each of the plurality of first transistors are individually programmable to be either always on, always off, or to be controlled by a logic signal to be on or off. Each of the plurality of second transistors are configured to be programmed to be always on or always off.
