MOS • “MOS” : sandwichstructure of Metal, Oxide, and Silicon (semiconductor substrate). • The positive voltage on the polysilicon forms gate attracts the electron at the top of the channel. • The threshold voltage (Vt) collects enough electrons at the channel boundary to form an inversion layer (p -> n).

1.3 Gate Delay and Wire Delay
Gate Delay (delay model) Let’s suppose that Wp = 2 Wn which makes the same pull up and pull down current with ON-resistance of, Ro/W where Ro is the resistance per unit width. (ex. 200Ωum) Load capacitance consisting of drain junction capacitance is corresponded by the area of the drain such as CoW where Co is the capacitance per unit width (ex. 50 fF/um) Input capacitance is also represented by CoW L=35 nm=0.035 um (45nm)
Gate Delay CoW Ro/W Ro/W CoW Pull down Pull up Pull up current is represented by VDD/Ron(p). Pull down current is represented by VDD/Ron(n) Gate Delay (W=0.35um, L=0.035um) = (Ro/W) x (CoW) = Ro Co = 200 Ωum x 50pF/um =10psec Pull up/downcurrents are represented by ON resistance, which are reversely corresponded by the channel width W.
2 stage gates without load • The first term represents the delay of the 1st stage, where the output charge and the input charge of the 2nd stage is pull up or down by the current driven by the 1st gate. Both charge and current corresponds to the size or the channel width w. • The second term represents the delay of the 2nd stage. Without any load to the gates, the delay becomes identical to, which depends on the process. Delay = 1st stage delay + 2nd stage delay = (Ro/W1) (CoW1+CoW2) + (Ro/W2)(CoW2) = RoCo (2+W2/W1) = 10 psec x 3 = 30 psec
2 stage gates with load Load Capacitance is total sum of input capacitance CoWload Delay = 1st stage delay + 2nd stage delay = (Ro/W1) (CoW1+CoW2) + (Ro/W2)(CoW2+CoWload) = RoCo (2+W2/W1+Wload/W2) Case 1. W2=W1, Load=10W1 Delay = 10 psec (2+1+10) = 130.0 psec Case 2. W2=3W1, Load=10W1 Delay = 10 psec (2+3+3.33) =83.3 psec
