Lab description:

IV characteristics and layout of NMOS and PMOS devices in ON's C5 process 

    

Note: In all simulations for this lab, the body of all NMOS devices is connected to gnd! (ground) and the body of all PMOS devices is connected to vdd! (5V).

 

Lab Report:

   

Simulation #1: Simulating ID vs VDS of an NMOS device (W/L = 6um /0.6um) for VGS varying from 0 to 5 V in 1 V steps while VDS varies from 0 to 5 V in 1 mV steps.

Simulation #2: Simulating ID vs. VGS of an NMOS device (W/L = 6um /0.6um) for VDS = 100 mV wheree VGS varies from 0 to 2 V in 1 mV steps.

Simulation #3:  Simulating ID vs. VSD of a PMOS device (W/L = 12um/0.6um) for VSG varying from 0 to 5 V in 1 V steps while VSD varies from 0 to 5 V in 1 mV steps.
