Question

 For many years, MOS devices were scaled to
smaller and smaller dimensions without changing
the power supply voltage. Suppose that the width
W, length L, and oxide thickness Tox of a MOS transistor are all reduced by a factor of 2. Assume thatVT N , vGS, and vDS remain the same. (a) Calculate
the ratio of the drain current of the scaled device to
that of the original device. (b) By what factor has
the power dissipation changed? (c) By what factor
has the value of the total gate capacitance changed?
(d) By what factor has the circuit delay T
changed?
