Question: Consider an n - channel MOSFET on p - type substrate. The insulator is SiO 2 with a relative permittivity of r = 3 .

Consider an n-channel MOSFET on p-type substrate. The insulator is SiO2 with a relative permittivity of r=3.9[0=8.85 x 10-12 F/m] and thickness of 12 nm. The electron mobility is 350 cm2 Vs , the width is 18 m, and the length is 1.5 m. The threshold voltage is 0.7 V. a) Find the process transconductance parameter, kn '= mn Cox, in the units of A/V2. b) The ratio of the transistor width and length is called the aspect ratio W/L. Find the aspect ratio. c) Find the transconductance parameter, k. Note: the reason they use two different parameters (k and k) is because when youre doing integrated circuit design (meaning designing thousands of transistors to be fabricated and interconnected on a wafer), the values that make up k are fixed by the wafer fabrication process (meaning all transistors in the circuit will share the same value of k). The circuit designer can only specify the W and L of each transistor in order to control k.
