HW 4 - MOSFET Layout and Capacitances, NMOS Inverter-Dynamic Characteristics

4.1, 4.5-4.6: MOSFET Layout and Capacitances

4.2

We know that:

Cox=ϵoxtox

thus, using ϵox=345fFcm1:

Part Cox
a =345fFcm150nm=69.1nFcm2
b =138nFcm2
c =346nFcm2
d =691nFcm2

4.3

Using:

Cd=εSxd,xd2εSqNB(0.75V)

so using ε=103.5451014Fcm1 and q=e=1.61019C we get:

Cd1.051108F=10.5nF

4.65

We know that:

Cox=εoxtox,CGS=CoxWL

where ε=345fFcm1, so plug in our values of W=10μm and L=0.25μm:

Part tox Cox CGS
a 50nm 69nFcm2 1.73fF
b 20nm 172.5nFcm2 4.33fF
c 10nm 345nFcm2 8.63fF
d 5nm 690nFcm2 17.25fF

4.67

Use:

COL=GGB=CGBOL=CoxL

where since Cox=εoxtox=345nFcm2 then:

COL17.3pFcm1

4.70

We are given that Cox=εoxtox=23nFcm2, and CGSO=CGDO=20pF/m and the L=2Λ=1μm, and W=10Λ=5μm, so W=5104cm and L=104cm.

a

For triode:

CGS=CGD=CoxWL2+GGSOW=10.6fF

b

For saturation:

CGS=2/3CGC+CGSOW=11.2fFCGD=GGDOW=10fF

c

For cutoff:

CGS=CGD=GGSOW=10fF

4.72

Consider the following:

If Λ=0.5μm then L=2Λ=1μm and W=10μm=5μm. We are also given that ND=1016cm3, and NA=1020cm3. We also have CJSW=CJ5104cm1:

AS=5Λ10Λ=125109cm2=AD

via the symmetry of the diagram here AS=AD. Furthermore:

PS=10Λ+5Λ+5Λ+3Λ+3Λ+2Λ+2Λ=30Λ=15104cm

We know from EE 306 that:

Xd0=2εSiϕoq1NA+ND(NDNA+NAND)

plugging in values gives ϕo=VTln(NANDni2)=0.935V:

Xd034.8μm=0.0348mm=0.00348cm

so then:

Cj=εSiXd0=0.298nFcm2

thus:

CSB=CJAs+CJSWPS=CJ(As+5104cm115104cm)26.1fF

And by the symmetry of this problem, CSB=CDB=26.1fF.

We'll want to derive:

T=N(τPLH+τPHL)=2NτP0

Adding the delays of each inverter from two round trips we get the result. For the first trip, since N is given and required to be odd, then we add:

T1=τPLH+τPHL++τPLH=N+12τPLH+N12τPHL

For the second run we get the opposite order of delays, as we are flipped:

T2=τPHL+τPLH++τPHL=N12τPLH+N+12τPHL

Adding them together:

T=T1+T2=N+12τPLH+N12τPHL+N12τPLH+N+12τPHL=NτPLH+NτPHL=N(τPLH+τPHL)=2NτP0

6.139

Given:
Pasted image 20240206222857.png

Given that we have a load of C=0.5pF. For a resistive load we use:

RonS=1Ks(VHVtnS)=1100μA/V22.22(2.5V0.6V)2.37kΩ

Thus:

τPHL=1.2RonSC=1.42nsτPLH=0.69RC=9.94nstf=3.7RonSC=4.38nstr=2.2RC=31.69ns

Thus:

τP0=τPHL+τPLH2=5.68ns
