Does the length of mos can exceed the upper limit in PDK?
Aug 08th, 2013, 8:40am
 
Hi,all
Does the length of mos can exceed the upper limit in PDK? For example,if the max length of mos is 10u in PDK.Does the length of mos can exceed it just as a capacitance for filter purpose ?

Thanks any help in advance

Usually the limit is set to those allowed by the Design Rules of the process. A waiver may be available at your own risk.  For a capacitor, just use more devices in parallel. For use as a long mosfet, use several in series with their gates tied together.

@xianweng: DRM = Design Rule Manual.

Kevin_Aylward ,thank you for your reply.
We want to change technology of a chip that layout were already done .In that version ,some length of decouple capacitance (mos as capacitance)exceed the new pdk's limit.

In design rule,it just say the min length of mos,but do not say the max,so I think i will be ok if L exceed the pdk limit just as capacitance

If you want higher Length permitted than PDK. Just stack the transistors!!!
