Norhayati Soin 05 KEEE 4425 WEEK 8 2/9/2005 Review Questions 1.Described briefly technological steps required to manufacture a CMOS inverter. Clearly specify masks used in each step. Give relevant sketches. 2.Give a brief explanation for the following CMOS process technologies: (i)N-well (ii)P-well (iii)Twin well 3.Why do we need design rules. 4.Contrast the difference between micron rules and scalable rules. Give one advantage for using each design rule type.
