Abstract :
In this paper we propose a novel technique for post fabrication adaptation of digital logic gates. By threshold shifting low-power operation is possible with the cost of an extra polysilicon layer. A simple MOS-transistor is used together with UV-light as a programming structure without increasing the silicon areal requirements. Initial measurements are presented
