CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) CMOS is used in most very large scale integrated (VLSI) or ultra-large scale integrated (ULSI) "VLSI" : chips containing thousands or millions of MOSFETs. "ULSI" : containing billions, or more, MOSFETs. We focus simply on analog CMOS circuit design
2. CMOS Background
CMOS circuit design was invented in 1963 by Frank Wanlass Circuit could be made with discrete complementary MOS devices, an NMOS and a PMOS
NMOS
PMOS
2. CMOS Background
* Ex: CMOS Inverter
2. CMOS Background
Advantages of CMOS: Low power Layout on small area Can be fabricated with few defects and low cost.
95% of ICs are fabricated in CMOS
* Studying the well to: Understanding CMOS integrated circuit layout and design. Understanding the performance limitations and parasitics. Understanding the details of each fabrication (layout) layer.
* A Parasitic Diode
2.1 Patterning
CMOS integrated circuits are formed by patterning different layers on and in the silicon wafer.
