minimal threshol value
May 12th, 2009, 1:42pm
 
Hi all,

Can anyone collect the guidelines how to size a transistor in order to have the minimum threshold value?

like effect of the gate length, effect of the number of foldings...

cheers

hi,
  i guess it wont depend on the no of foldings but according to short channel effects vth will decrease with length (but if you have pocket holo's in your transistor,at very small length because of reverse short channel effect  vth will increase with decrease in length)

Thanks,
Rajasekhar.

It depends on the technology, but due to STI induced stress the threshold voltage will depend on the number of fingers (distance of gate to STI). The vt of a PMOS will be lower in the presence of STI stress. For NMOS it is the other way.
