Question: 6 -

Which one of the following statements is correct ? For an MOS capacitor fabricated on a p-type occurs when surface potential is

Options:
  1. Equal to fermi potential

  2. Positive and equal to fermi potential in magnitude

  3. Zero

  4. Negative and equal to fermi potential in magnitude

  5. Answer:

    Negative and equal to fermi potential in magnitude

    Solution:

    When surface potential is negative and equal to fermi level , then it is said that strong inversion has been occurred


Question: 7 -

In integrated circuits , the design of electronic circuits is based on the approach of use of

Options:
  1. Larged size capacitor

  2. Minimum chip area irrespective of the type of components in the design

  3. Use of only bipolar transistors

  4. Maximum number of resistors in the circuit

  5. Answer:

    Minimum chip area irrespective of the type of components in the design

    Solution:

    In IC design minimum area is main criteria


Question: 8 -

Why is silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer is used in ICs?

Options:
  1. Because it facilitates the penetration of the desired impurity by diffusion

  2. To control the concentration of te diffused impurities

  3. Because of its high heat conduction

  4. To protect the surface of the chip from external contaminants and to allow for selective formation of the n and p regions by diffusion

  5. Answer:

    To protect the surface of the chip from external contaminants and to allow for selective formation of the n and p regions by diffusion

    Solution:

    Sio2 is used an insulator
