1. An integrated CMOS transistor structure comprising a semiconductor body having a major surface with a first device region of a first conductivity type and a second device region of a second conductivity type therein,a first device formed in said first device region and including a source region and a drain region of said second conductivity type, said source and drain regions being spaced apart by a channel region and each of said source and drain regions forming a p-n junction with said first device region, a gate contact between said source and drain regions and insulatively spaced from said device region, an ohmic contact solely to said source region and a Schottky contact solely to said drain region, said Schottky contact forming a Schottky diode with said drain region which is forward biased and injecting minority carriers into said channel region when said gate contact is voltage biased on.a second device formed in said second device region and including a source region and a drain region of first conductivity type, said source and drain regions being spaced apart by a channel region and each of said source and said drain regions forming a p-n junction with said second device region, a gate contact between said source and drain regions and insulatively spaced from said second device region, an ohmic contact solely to said source region and a Schottky contact solely to said drain region, said Schottky contact forming a Schottky diode with said drain region which is forward biased and injecting minority carriers into said channel region when said gate contact is voltage biased on.input connector means interconnecting said gate contacts of said first and second devices, andoutput connector means interconnecting said Schottky contacts of said first and second devices.
