  2. 3.6 Gate Array Design • Gate-array base cell (or base cell) • Gate-array base (or base or base array) • Gate-isolated gate array – an off gate (transistor) is used to isolate active gates • Oxide isolation – field oxide is used to isolate gates (in individual tubs) • Horizontal tracks – horizontal tracks (channels) for routing (m1) • Vertical tracks – vertical tracks (channels) for routing (m2)
