Microelectronic Devices and Circuits – EECS 105 Spring 2003 Midterm 1 Professor Costas J. Spanos MOS Device Data (otherwise indicated on the particular problem) (you may not have to use all of these…) nCox = 50A/V2, pCox = 25A/V2, VTn = -VTp = 1 V, Lmin = 1m. VBS = 0. n = p = 0.1 V-1 when L = 1 m, and it is otherwise proportional to 1/L Cox = 2.3 fF/m2. Also: o = 8.85 10-14 F/cm, ox = 3.9 o and si = 11.7 o. Problem 1 of 4: Answer each question briefly and clearly. (5 pts each, 40 total) 1.1 Assume a diffused resistor with a fixed thickness. What happens to the Sheet Resistance (Rs) if the doping level doubles (assuming that there is only a single dopant and that mobility does not change)? … stays the same … doubles … is reduced by 50% … none of the above 1.2 Find the “built-in potential” B of a junction that has NA = 1016/cm3 and ND = 1017/cm. 1.3 Place check marks where appropriate to indicate the correct region of operation, assuming that VTn = -VTp = 1 V.
