Abstract

Abstract A digital semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a common semiconductor substrate, a dynamic MOS circuit block (10) comprising a MOS-FET, and a static bipolar circuit block (12) comprising a bipolar transistor or an SIT which is operated in a "bipolar mode" and cascade-connected to said dynamic MOS circuit block (10) in said common semiconductor substrate. The device is such that, by setting the timing of clock pulses, the logical operations of these circuit blocks are performed in a timed relationship with each other. Thus, this integrated circuit device can be produced with minimized dependency of its operation velocity upon the design of these circuit blocks and can perform a high-speed operation and can provide a high packing density.
