Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a transistor with a subthreshold swing of 80 mV/decade. What implications does this have for device performance compared to one with 60 mV/decade?

💡 Hint: Refer to the significance of SS in switching behavior.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a scenario where maximizing the I_on/I_off ratio would be crucial and discuss potential design challenges.

💡 Hint: Consider the balance of design efficiency and production cost.
