Abstract

Abstract A logic circuit includes a driver transistor (Q s ) and a load transistor (Q 6 ), each a junction type or Schottky barrier type field effect transistor, and an input terminal (V IN ) connected to a gate of the driver transistor. A gate voltage generator (1) is connected to a gate of the load transistor and generates a level higher than the sum of threshold values of the load transistor and the driver transistor and lower than a low value among the first sum of a built-in voltage of the load transistor and the threshold voltage of the driver transistor and the second sum of a built-in voltage of the driver transistor and the threshold voltage of the load transistor.
