Introduction

• ICs are the basic block of electronic device design.

• They contain many transistors on one chip.

• First half of 20th century ruled by vacuum tubes.

• The magical PN junction ‐ 1939

• Transistor – 1947, BJT – 1949, TTL – 1962, 

• PMOS – 60’s, NMOS – 70’s,

• CMOS – 80’s surviving until nowadays.

Moore’s Law

In 1965 Gordon Moore noted that theIn 1965, Gordon Moore noted that the number of transistors on a chip doubled every 18 to 24 months. 

He made a prediction that  semiconductor h l ll d bl ff

Advantages of CMOS

• Very low power consumption.

R il t il lt• Rail‐to‐rail voltage.

• Modular design.

• Reliable and robust.

Choice of the industry!

Complementary MOS Transistors (CMOS)

• Fabricate PMOS and NMOS devices on the same substrate to build complementary MOS (CMOS)

• This is solved by using a p‐tub diffusion to create the background for the n‐channel devices

For researchers…. • New Circuit Design Techniques• Novel Device Structures

Double gate MOSFETs– Double gate MOSFETs– FinFETs

• New materials for electronics– Graphene– Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)– Organic semiconductors

• Cost reduction and large area circuits/systems– Organic/Flexible/printed Electronics

25

Along with training and manpower building,  exploratory research is also necessary

Summary

• CMOS will be continuing for next many years

• Proper understanding and Training for CMOS and VLSI is requiredand VLSI is required

• Research for new device designs and materials is necessary

• Exploratory work should also be encouraged for new technologies
