Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a FinFET with a gate oxide capacitance (Cox) of 3.45 fF/μm², an effective width (Weff) of 20 nm, and a carrier mobility (μ) of 300 cm²/Vs. Calculate the drain current (IDS) when VGS is 1.5 V and VTH is 0.7 V, with VDS set to 0.1 V.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to use consistent units when calculating.
Critically analyze the trade-offs of using FinFET technology in a high-performance system compared to planar MOSFETs in terms of power dissipation and fabrication costs.
💡 Hint: Think about scenarios where tight power budgets are essential.
