A device is described, including a first diffusion region having a first
terminal, a second diffusion region having a second terminal, and a
channel region disposed between the first diffusion region and the second
diffusion region. Further, the first terminal and the second terminal are
offset to enable a non-Manhattan current flow. A system is also
described, including the previously described device and a second
transistor. The pathway for the flow of the majority of the current
carriers in the device defines a first direction. The second transistor
also has at least two terminals, and a pathway for a majority of current
carriers between the two terminals defines a second direction. The angle
between the first direction and the second direction is nonzero and
acute.
