5.     Derive the current voltage relationship of NMOS for different bias conditions.
6.     Describe about the different scaling techniques in detail.
7.     Explain about the small geometry effects.
8.     List and explain about the capacitances related to MOS under different bias conditions.
9.     Explain about Y-diagram and design hierarchy.
10.  With the help of diagrams explain about the Resistive load inverters.
11.  What is the advantage of active load inverter? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different active load inverters with suitable diagram.
12.  What is the cause of delay in CMOS inverter? Define the time delay parameters in CMOS.
13.  Explain with suitable diagram the working of a CMOS inverter and also give different voltage levels in all five regions.
14.  With the help of NMOS and PMOS characteristic curves explain the different regions of CMOS inverter, also explain why it exhibits a large gain in region3.
