CMOS Assignment Answers (Short 1–2 Mark Style)

1(a) Lambda-based design rules use λ as a unit to define minimum layout sizes. Makes designs
scalable for different technologies.

1(b) Body effect: Threshold voltage increases when body voltage differs from source. MOSFET needs
more Vg to turn ON.

1(c) Mobility variation: Mobility reduces with higher electric field, temperature, and impurities → slower
transistor.

1(d) 3-input logic using CMOS: Use CMOS NAND/NOR networks. For AND: 3-input NAND + inverter.

2(a) Triode NMOS: Use Id = µCox(W/L)[(Vgs–Vt)Vds – Vds²/2]. Rds = Vds/Id.

2(b) CMOS wafer + photolithography: Silicon wafer → oxidation → photoresist → exposure → etching
→ doping → metal layers.

2(c) Transmission gate: NMOS + PMOS in parallel. Passes both 0 and 1 when ON.

3(a) BiCMOS AB + C: CMOS forms AB and C, BJT gives strong output drive.

3(b) CMOS to ECL using BiCMOS: Bipolar stage level-shifts CMOS levels to ECL levels.

3(c) MOS small-signal model: gm*vgs + rds used to analyze AC gain.

4(a) Gain = 1 + R2/R1 = 10. For 1% error, A ≈ 9.9–10.1.

4(b) Gain boosting: Extra amp increases output resistance → higher gain.

4(c) Steps: Specs → architecture → sizing → simulation → layout → fabrication → testing.

4(d) BiCMOS features: High speed, low power CMOS, high drive BJT.

5(a) Channel length modulation: Id increases slightly with Vds in saturation.

5(b) C–V characteristics: Accumulation = high C, depletion = medium C, inversion = low C.


5(c) BiCMOS transistor: CMOS controls BJT for fast and strong output.

5(d) Current sources: MOS in saturation gives constant current.

6. Parasitic capacitance lowers high■frequency gain and slows amplifier.

7. Speed–power–gain trade-off: Higher speed needs more power; higher gain reduces speed.

8. Short-channel effects: Lower Vth, higher leakage, reduced mobility → weaker analog performance.

9. Current mirror: One MOS sets reference current, second copies it.

10. Two■stage CMOS op-amp: Differential stage + gain stage + compensation capacitor.
