1. The effective gate voltage, Vg = Vgs - Vt

2. Induced charge, Qc = Eg εins ε0 WL
3. Transit time = length of channel/velocity.
4. For a non saturated region the condition is Vds<Vgs -Vt
5. It is possible to increasing width (w).
6. Saturation begins when Vds= Vgs-Vt.
7. A reduction in channel length results higher Trans conductance.
8. A fast circuit requires gm be as high as possible.
9. Switching speed depends on gate voltage above threshold & on carrier mobility
10. The relay contacts between several transistors switched in series is called pass transistor.
11. For the depletion mode, transistor gate is connected to the source, so it is always on.
12. For a CMOS inverter when Vin =logic 1 pMOS is off and nMOS is on.
13. For a depletion mode transistor Vgs=0.
14. Tran conductance of bi polar is far greater than MOS.
15. Latch up may be induced by glitches on the supply rails or by incident radiation.
16. Latch up condition in which the parasitic components give rise to establishment of low resistance
conducting path between VDD & VSS.
17. With no injected current the parasitic transistor will exhibit high resistance.
18. MOS transistor can be modeled with varying degrees of complexity.
19. In complementary transistor pull up no current flows either for logical 0 or 1 inputs.
20. In nMOS enhancement mode dissipation is high since current flows when Vin=1.
