Speeding Up NMOS

For years—decades, in fact—the NMOS transistor world has been on cruise control. NMOS is naturally faster and its performance has scaled better than PMOS. PMOS has had a cost advantage. But lately, it ...

Use Hybrid PMOS-NMOS Active Loads To Cut Substrate Noise In Differential Amplifiers

PMOS transistors are less vulnerable to substrate noise since they’re placed in separate wells; designers implement guard rings to attenuate the substrate noise propagation. However, substrate noise ...

Additional structures in analog layout beyond schematic

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

A novel self-biased pMOS clamped deep trench CSTBT with enhanced tradeoff and short-circuit capability

Whether in the on or off state as the potential of the collector increases, the potential of the N-CS layer or N-Drift region in the DT-CSTBT also increases. When this potential rises to the threshold ...
