Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies homogeneity by using transistors of the same type (all P-type or all N-type) throughout the exclusive-OR gate circuit, eliminating the need to mix P-type and N-type transistors. This simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces device complexity while maintaining the required circuit functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the electrical parameters (voltage levels, current directions) to accommodate the use of identical transistor types. By adjusting these parameters, the circuit achieves the same logical functions as traditional mixed-type designs but with simplified manufacturing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If ten transistors of the same type are used, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but circuit structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit is segmented into multiple identical or similar transistor units (ten transistors of the same type) that perform specific functions within the overall exclusive-OR gate structure. This segmentation allows each transistor to be standardized while distributing the functional complexity across multiple identical components.

Inventive Principle:
