The process of building thousands of transistors into a single chip to create an integrated circuit (IC) is known as very-large-scale integration, or VLSI. When complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed in the 1970s, VLSI got started.
Electromigration (EM) is a phenomenon where metal ions in an interconnect get displaced due to the flow…
Parasitic Channel A parasitic channel in a MOSFET happens when unintended conductive paths form between the source…
VLSI layout design, both Multiplier and Finger concepts are used to optimize transistor layout for better performance,…
The Body (Back Gate) Effect is a phenomenon in MOS transistors where the threshold voltage (VT) of…
Zero-Temperature-Coefficient (ZTC) is the point at which the performance of a transistor becomes independent of temperature changes….
The Narrow-Channel Effect refers to a phenomenon where the threshold voltage (VT) of a MOSFET increases as…
When it comes to N-PLUS (NMOS Source-Drain) or NSD and P-PLUS (PMOS Source-Drain) or PSD masks, you…
