Experimental Results:

 

· Back-up all of your work form the lab and the course.

· Read through this entire lab write-up before doing the pre-lab

· Finish Tutorial 2

The objective of this lab is to simulate the IV characteristics for both the NMOS and PMOS devices. Additionally, layout each device and connect the terminals to probe pads.

Exercise #1 - ID vs VDS of an NMOS device

ID vs VDS Schematic: NMOS W = 6u, L = 600n

 

Exercise #2 - ID vs VGS of an NMOS device

DRC results shown in the command interpreter window

LVS results shown in the command interpreter window

ID vs VDS Simulation: VGS 0v to 5V

 

ID vs VGS Schematic: NMOS W = 6u, L = 600n

 

ID vs VGS Simulation: VGS= 0v to 2V, VDS= 100mV

 

Exercise #3 - ID vs VSD of a PMOS device

ID vs VSD Schematic: PMOS W = 12u, L = 600n

 

ID vs VSD Simulation: VSG= 0v to 5V

 

Exercise #4 - ID vs VSG of a PMOS device

ID vs VSG Schematic: PMOS W = 12u, L = 600n

 

ID vs VSG Simulation: VSG= 0v to 2V, VSD= 100mV
