Overlap Capacitance in Integrated Circuits (IC) Formulas

Overlap Capacitance is a parasitic capacitance that arises due to the physical overlap between the gate and the source/drain regions. And is denoted by C_ov. Overlap Capacitance is usually measured using the Farad for Capacitance. Note that the value of Overlap Capacitance is always positive.
