MOSFET Capacitances
➢ MOSFET capacitances are due to
geometry and manufacturing
processes and mostly distributed (not
lumped).

Fabrication process flow: Basic steps
(d) The areas where the UV light can
pass through, on the other hand, the
photoresist is exposed and becomes
soluble. The type of photoresist which
(a)
becomes soluble after exposure to UV
light is called positive photoresist
(d)
(f)
(e) The remaining photoresist can
now be stripped from the silicon
dioxide surface by using another
solvent, leaving the patterned silicon
dioxide feature on the surface.
