This semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate of a first conductive type; a first impurity layer of a second conductive type that is formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate; a second impurity layer of the first conductive type that is formed to surround the first impurity layer on the surface of the semiconductor substrate; an insulating film that covers at least the first impurity layer; a first resistive element that is spiral-shaped and is provided on the insulating film; a second resistive element that is provided on an outer side of the first impurity layer in a planar view of the semiconductor substrate; and a first wiring that couples an end portion of the first resistive element on an outer peripheral side thereof and the second resistive element to each other.

An adder uses with first and second majority gates. For a 1-bit adder, output from a 3-input majority gate is inverted and input two times to a 5-input majority gate. Other inputs to the 5-input majority gate are the same as those of the 3-input majority gate. The output of the 5-input majority gate is a sum while the output of the 3-input majority gate is the carry. Multiple 1-bit adders are concatenated to form an N-bit adder. The input signals to the majority gates can be analog, digital, or a combination of them, which are driven to first terminals of non-ferroelectric capacitors. The second terminals of the non-ferroelectric capacitors are coupled to form a majority node. Majority function of the input signals occurs on this node. The majority node is then coupled to a first terminal of a non-linear polar capacitor. The second terminal of the capacitor provides the output of the logic gate.
