Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the effect of increased doping concentration on Vth?

  • Increases Vth
  • Decreases Vth
  • No effect

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a material gets 'more crowded' with impurities.

Question 2

True or False: Thicker gate oxide decreases control over the channel.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the gate needs to effectively influence the channel for the transistor to switch.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose a CMOS circuit has an average Vth of 0.5V. If doping concentration increases by 20%, predict the new Vth and discuss the implications for the circuit's performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the relationship between doping and Vth to inform your prediction.

Question 2

Design a simple circuit that incorporates redundancy to combat Vth variation and explain how it would mitigate performance losses.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how having backups in a system can improve reliability.
