Limitations of Scaling MCQ Quiz – Objective Question with Answer for Limitations of Scaling

21. Flicker noise is scaled by

a) 1/α2
b) α2/β2
c) 1/β2
d) β2/α2

Answer: b

Flicker noise occurs due to fluctuations of carriers trapped in the channel by surface states. It is scaled by α2/β2.

 

22. Scaling affects _____ generated noise.

a) internally
b) externally
c) internally and externally
d) does not generate

Answer: c

Scaling affects both internally and externally generated noise and this degrades both the production yield and the reliability of high-density chip layouts.

 

23. The basic figures of merit for MOS devices are

a) Minimum Feature size
b) Low Power dissipation
c) Maximum operational frequency
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d

All the mentioned are the basic figures of merit for MOS devices.

24. For the constant field model, the scaling factors β and α are related as:

a) β = α
b) α = 2β
c) β = 1
d) β = α = 0

Answer: a

In the Constant field model, β = α.

 

25. In Constant Voltage model, the scaling factors β and α are related as:

a) β = α
b) α = 2β
c) β = 1
d) β = α = 1

Answer: c

In Constant Voltage model, β = 1.

 

26. The scaling factor for the supply voltage VDD is:

a) 1
b) 0
c) 1/α
d) 1/β

Answer: d

The supply voltage VDD as the scaling factor of 1/β.

 

27. The scaling factor of the length and width of the channel is:

a) 1, 1
b) 1/α, 1/β
c) 1/α, 1/α
d) 1/β, 1/β

Answer: c

The scaling factor of length is 1/α, and the scaling factor for width is 1/α.

28. The third type of scaling model is:

a) λ-based model
b) µm based model
c) combined voltage and dimension model
d) combined voltage and electric field model

Answer: c

The third model is known as the combined voltage and dimensions model proposed by Bergmann in 1991.

 

29. The scaling factor of gate area in the constant voltage model is:

a) 1/α2
b) 1/β2
c) 1
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: a

The gate area = L.W, therefore scaling factor = 1/α2.
