What is Fermi level?

Answer Posted / riya bipradas pal

Fermi level lies in between (may not be exactly at the center) the conduction band band and the valence band . An electron can only reach the conduction band from the valance band only if it has got energy higher than the energy of the fermi level energy or fermi band energy .

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
