Description
The CMOS inverter is the fundamental building block of digital logic circuits. This project involves designing, simulating, and analyzing the performance of a CMOS inverter using Synopsys Sentaurus
TCAD. The aim is to understand the behavior of CMOS inverters, including their switching characteristics, power consumption, and noise margins.
• Design a CMOS inverter using NMOS and PMOS transistors.
• Simulate the inverter’s electrical characteristics using Sentaurus TCAD.
• Analyze key parameters such as switching threshold, noise margin, and power consumption.
• Perform transient analysis to study the inverter's response to input signal changes.
Deliverables for Each Project
• Simulation Reports: Comprehensive reports detailing the simulation setup, processes, results, and
analysis.
• Plots and Graphs: Visual representations of simulation data, including IV curves, threshold shifts,
retention characteristics, etc.
• Optimized Parameters: Recommendations for optimized design and operational parameters.
• Reliability and Performance Metrics: Documentation of reliability tests and key performance
metrics.
• Source Files: Simulation input files and scripts for reproducibility.
