Suppose a single-crystal Si wafer has lateral dimensions of 1 cm x 1 cm and is microfabricated to create 64 Mbytes of transistors on it (recall 1 byte = 8 bits). Estimate the lateral size of a single transistor on this chip.
Added by John G.
Step 1
First, we need to convert 64 Mbytes to bits: 64 Mbytes x 8 bits/byte = 512 Mbits Show more…

Question One: Consider a uniformly doped silicon bipolar transistor at T=300K with a base doping of Na = 5 x 10^16 cm^-3 and collector doping of 2 x 10^16 cm^-3. Assume the metallurgical base width is 70 μm. Calculate the change in neutral base width at the C-B voltage of 2V: (Hint: Calculate depletion width to the base side at V = 2V and subtract from the original length).

A 1 -megabit computer memory chip contains many $60.0-\mathrm{fF}$ capacitors. Each capacitor has a plate area of $21.0 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{m}^{2} .$ Determine the plate separation of such a capacitor (assume a parallel-plate configuration). The order of magnitude of the diameter of an atom is $10^{-10} \mathrm{m}=0.1 \mathrm{nm} .$ Express the plate separation in nanometers.
