Question 1

What does fin pitch refer to in FinFET design?

Spacing between fins
Width of the fin
Height of the fin

💡 Hint: It's about the distance, not the size of the fins.

Question 2

True or False: Contacts should be placed as far from the fins as possible to reduce capacitance.

True
False

💡 Hint: Proximity enhances performance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple layout for a FinFET circuit, optimizing for fin pitch and contact placement. Justify your choices based on performance predictions.

💡 Hint: Consider balance between fin density and electrical characteristics.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a case where a FinFET circuit failed due to improper contact placement. Discuss corrective measures and how EDA tools could have prevented this.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the steps that could have been taken during the design verification process.
