Explanation: The relative capacitance of diffusion region of 5 micron technology is 0.25. The relative value is calculated by comparing two values of same type.
5. A feature size square has ___________
a) L > W
b) W > L
c) L = W
d) L > d
View Answer
Explanation: A feature size square has L = W and its gate to channel capacitance value is called as square Cg.
6. What is the standard square Cg value of a 5 micron technology?
a) 0.01 pF
b) 0.1 pF
c) 1 pF
d) 10 pF
View Answer
Explanation: The standard square Cg value of a 5 micron technology is 0.01 pF. This standard square Cg value can be calculated by using the area of standard square value and the capacitance value.
7. What is the standard square Cg value of a 1.2 micron technology?
a) 0.01 pF
b) 0.0023 pF
c) 0.023 pF
d) 0.23 pF
View Answer
Explanation: The standard square Cg value of a 1.2 micron technology is 0.0023 pF.
8. Relative area for L = 20λ and W = 3λ is?
a) 10
b) 15
c) 1/15
d) 1/10
View Answer
Explanation: Relative area for L = 20λ and W = 3λ is = (20λ X 3λ) / (2λ X 2λ) = 15. Relative area has no unit as two quantities of same type have been used.
9. What is the value of gate capacitance?
a) 0.25 square Cg
b) 1 square Cg
c) 1.25 square Cg
d) 1.5 square Cg
View Answer
Explanation: The value of gate capacitance is one square Cg. This is the standard value.

View Answer
Explanation: Delay unit of 5 micron technology is 0.1 nsec.
11. What is the delay unit of 1.2 micron technology?
a) 0.064 nsec
b) 0.0064 nsec
c) 0.046 nsec
d) 0.0046 nsec
View Answer
Explanation: The delay unit of 1.2 micron technology is 0.046 nsec.
12. What is the transition point of an inverter?
a) Vdd
b) 0.5 Vdd
c) 0.25 Vdd
