A series logic circuit arrangement using a plurality of complementary IGFET's and comprising a plurality of series connected logic circuits, each of the logic circuits being designed to effect a predetermined logic function with respect to input binary coded signals by using at least one P channel IGFET and one N channel IFGET. In the negative logic system, the P channel IGFET's are arranged on a semiconductor substrate according to a logic equation of minterm-type expression, and the N channel IGFET's are arranged on the substrate according to a logic equation of maxterm-type expression, and, in the positive logic system, the N channel IGFET's are provided on the substrate according to the logic equation of minterm-type expression, and the P channel IGFET's are disposed on the substrate according to the logic equation of maxterm-type expression, thereby admitting of integrating the P and N channel IGFET's on the substrate within a smallest possible area.
In a series logic circuit arrangement using a plurality of P and N channel IGFET's and comprising a plurality of series logic circuits to which a plurality of input binary coded signals are applied, each of said logic circuits being designed to effect a predetermined logic function with respect to any ones of the plurality of input binary coded signals by using at least one P channel IGFET and one N channel IGFET, the improvement in that said P channel IGFET's and N channel IGFET's are arranged according to positive and negative logic systems with respect to the plurality of input binary coded signals, in the negative logic system, said P channel IGFET's being arranged according to a logic equation of minterm-type expression and said N channel IGFET's according to a logic equation of maxterm-type expression, and, in the positive logic system, said P channel IGFET's being provided according to a logic equation of maxterm-type expression and said N channel IGFET's according to a logic equation of minterm-type expression.
