Pre-lab work- Back-up all of your work from the lab and the course.
- Read through this lab before starting it.
- Go through Tutorial 2 seen here.
- In
the simulations in this lab the body of all NMOS devices (the
substrate) should be at ground (gnd!) and the body of all PMOS devices
(the n-well) should be at a vdd! of 5V.
Lab work
Experiment
1: Plot the IV characteristic curves of an NMOS device and a PMOS
device for variations in gate, drain, and source voltage.

Experiment 2: Layout a 6u/0.6u NMOS device and connect all 4 MOSFET terminals to probe pads.
Here is my layout for the NMOS connected to 4 probe pads:
