FAQs on Width of Gate

What is the formula to find Width of Gate?
The formula of Width of Gate is expressed as Gate Width = Input Gate Capacitance/(Capacitance of Gate Oxide Layer*Length of Gate). Here is an example- 285.6667 = 6.001E-05/(30.01*0.007).
How to calculate Width of Gate?
With Input Gate Capacitance (Cin), Capacitance of Gate Oxide Layer (Cox) & Length of Gate (Lg) we can find Width of Gate using the formula - Gate Width = Input Gate Capacitance/(Capacitance of Gate Oxide Layer*Length of Gate).
Can the Width of Gate be negative?
No, the Width of Gate, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Width of Gate?
Width of Gate is usually measured using the Millimeter[mm] for Length. Meter[mm], Kilometer[mm], Decimeter[mm] are the few other units in which Width of Gate can be measured.
