A 0.13 μm CMOS fabrication process is specified to have μnCox = 511 μA/V2, μpCox = 128 μA/V2, Vtn = −Vtp = 0.4 V, VAn′ = 5 V/μm, and |VAp′| = 6 V/μm are the Early voltages (connected to channel length modulation, rO = VA/ID). Consider an n-channel device and a p-channel device fabricated in this process with equal channel lengths L = 0.26 μm and with equal widths W = 2.6 μm. (a) If both the NMOS and PMOS transistors specified above are operated at |VOV| = 0.2 V, find the current ID, the voltage VGS, the transconductance gm, and the output resistance ro of each device. Also specify the range of the voltage across the device for operation in the saturation mode to be obtained. (b) If while keeping |Vov| and L unchanged the PMOS device is to have an equal transconductance to that of the NMOS transistor, what device parameter must be changed and to what value? Also, find the new values of ID and ro of the modified PMOS transistor.

Question 1. Current calculations in 180 nm node MOSFET transistor technology I An n-MOSFET is fabricated in 0.18 μm technology characterized by the following process and device parameters: VDD = 1.8 V, Vtn = 0.5 V, L = 0.18 μm, Wn = 0.27 μm and a SiO2 thickness of 4 nm, in the usual notation. Take the relative dielectric constant of SiO2 to be 3.9 and ε0 to be 8.85 ×10−12 F/m. (a) What is the process transconductance parameter, kn, if the electron mobility is 400 cm2 /Vs. Express your answer in A/V2 and μA/V2. Explain why the units of kn are A/V2 or μA/V2. (b) If the mobility of holes in silicon is 1 /3 that of electrons, by what factor will kp differ from kn ? Why is this important? (c) What is the capacitance per unit area (Cox) for a 10 nm thick SiO2 ? The SI unit of areal capacitance is F/m2 but device engineers often use F/cm2 or fF/μm2. Express your answer in both these units as well. Instead of calculating the capacitance per unit area again for different oxide thicknesses device engineers may employ a scaling argument. How would your answer above change if the oxide thickness was (i) increased to 20 nm, (ii) reduced to 3 nm or (iii) reduced to 1 nm (d) How much drain current flows in the transistor if VDS = 0.2 V and VGS = 0.8 V ? Express your answer in μA per micron of device width. Why do you think it is useful to express the drain current as the drain current per μm device width?

In the circuit below, the supply voltage is VDD = 2.5 V and the MOS transistors have process transconductance parameters μnCox = 0.3 mAV2 and μPCox = 0.2 mAV2, threshold voltages Vtn = −Vtp = 0.4 V, channel-length modulation coefficients λn = −λp = 0.1 V^−1, and channel lengths L1 = L2 = 0.2 μm. (a) Choose the widths of the transistors, W 1 and W 2, and the gate bias voltages, VG1 and VG2, such that the dc output voltage be Vo = VDD/2 and all transistors operate in saturation with an overdrive voltage of 0.5 V and a drain current of 85 μA. (b) Find the small-signal voltage gain vo/vi. Calculate the largest peak-to-peak amplitude of the input sinusoid vi and the corresponding amplitude of the output sinusoid vo that the circuit can handle while all transistors remain in saturation region.
