How do you size NMOS and PMOS transistors to increase the threshold voltage?..

Answer / senthil nath

I believe the question is how size NMOS/PMOS to increase the
threshold voltage of inverter? The Vt of a transistor cannot
be altered by changing it's Width or length as per my
understanding. Correct me if I am wrong.

So for the inverter, increasing PMOS width increases Vt of
inverter and increasing NMOS width decreases Vt of inverter.

How do you size NMOS and PMOS transistors to increase the threshold voltage?..

Answer / senthil nath

@Abhishek,
Vt of inverter means the switching voltage of the inverter
(i.e. the voltage at which the inverter starts to switch)

Answer / abhishek

@ snethil... Vt of the PMOS and NMOSs change in short
channel devices with length... and what is Vt of inverter ?

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 4 No

How do you size NMOS and PMOS transistors to increase the threshold voltage?..

Answer / ramana

NMOS:Incresing the length vt will decrease.Incresing the
width vt will increase.
PMOS:Incresing the width vt will decrease.Incresing the
length vt will increase.
