a) α
b) β
c) 1/α
d) 1/β

Answer: d

Saturation current Idss is scaled by 1/β. This is given by (Co*µ/2)*W/L*(Vgs-Vt)2 .

16. Vgs is scaled by

a) α
b) β
c) 1/α
d) 1/β

Answer: d

Gate to source voltage Vgs is scaled by 1/β. All voltages are scaled by 1/β.

 

17. Current density J is scaled by

a) α/β
b) β/α
c) α2
d) β2

Answer: c

Current density J is scaled by α2/β. Current density is given by Idss/A where Idss is scaled by 1/β and area A by 1/α2.

18. Power dissipation per gate is scaled by

a) 1/α
b) 1/β
c) 1/α2
d) 1/β2

Answer: d

Power dissipation per gate is scaled by 1/β^2. This is the sum of static component Pgs and dynamic component Pgd.

 

19. Power dissipation per unit area is scaled by

a) 1/α
b) 1/β
c) β2/α2
d) α2/β2

Answer: d

Power dissipation per unit area Pa is scaled by α2/β2. This is given by Pg/Ag where Pg is scaled by 1/β2 and Ag by 1/α2.

20. In the constant voltage model, the saturation current is scaled by

a) α
b) β
c) 1
d) β2

Answer: c

Saturation current is scaled by 1 in the constant voltage model. This is because saturation current is scaled by 1/β and here in the constant voltage model β is 1.
