how to handle higher bias current??
Sep 01st, 2012, 11:51am
 
hello all,
due to some reason i have to use a NMOS with more than the current what it designed for (max contacts ratings), now i would like to ask if i flatten the PCELL and add some contacts will i get any problem?
I hope i can extract all the added contact resistance....

Thanks,
Raj.

Except for model validity, I don't see really any reason why not. Of course as long as you obey to the DRC/DFM.

Could you give some extra details, e.g. how many extra contacts would you need, how many do you have, what is the current (density), etc..
