Abstract
The project titled “Performance Evaluation of CMOS Technology” is a research conducted to provide students with guidelines about what to invest their time in the field of VLSI & ULSI technology and enlighten them about various parameters of Scaling of CMOS technology which is the most used IC technology in the world. This report also studies the range of scaling of MOSFET and its limits. The performance of a device relies highly on the performance of the IC and Transistors used in its circuit hardware.
CMOS which is the abbreviation of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor is a technology used to design Integrated Circuits. The Complementary prefix to MOS that refers to MOSFET signifies the use of complementary semiconductors that is NMOS and PMOS. These two MOS technologies work together to form a wide array of gates and Integrated Circuits.
This research provides students various results on the unreliability of Student Version Simulation software in designing new generation hardware and how power dynamics of highly scaled technology cannot be verified using such tools.
