Finfet based design of XOR and XNOR using HSPICE

XOR and XNOR are popular gates in microprocessors. They are fundamental unit circuits used in adder, multiplexer, comparator, parity checker and generator circuits. This project proposes a new five transistors XOR-XNOR design using FinFET. The use of conventional MOSFET as basic unit of XOR and XNOR...
