Challenge 1 Hard

Considering a transistor with a reported subthreshold swing (SS) of 80 mV/decade, what are the implications for device performance if the target SS value is 60 mV/decade?

💡 Hint: Compare the SS values and their relevance in design implications.

Challenge 2 Hard

A solar cell has a V_oc of 0.65V and an I_sc of 7.5A. Calculate its Conversion Efficiency if the solar power incident is 1000W.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for efficiency and plug in the values carefully.
