Two n-channel MOSFETs, T1 and T2, are identical in all respects except that the width of T2 is double of T1. Both the transistor are biased in the saturation region of operation, but the gate overdrive voltage (VGS - VTH) of T2 is double that of T1, where VGS and VTH are the gate-to-source voltage and threshold voltage of the transistors, respectively. If the drain current and transconductance of T1 are ID1 and gm1 respectively ; the corresponding values of these two parameters for T2 are

A voltage VG is applied across a MOS capacitor with metal gate and p-type silicon substrate at
T=300 K. The inversion carrier density (in number of carriers per unit area) for VG = 0.8 V is $$2\,\, \times \,\,{10^{11}}\,\,\,\,\,\,c{m^{ - 2}}$$ . For $${V_G}\,\, = \,\,1.3\,\,V,$$ the inversion carrier density is $$4\,\,\, \times \,\,\,{10^{11}}\,\,\,\,c{m^{ - 2}}.$$ What is the value of the inversion carrier density for VG = 1.8 V?

Consider a long-channel NMOS transistor with source and body connected together. Assume that
the electron mobility is independent of VGS and VDS. Given,
gm = 0.5$$\mu {\rm A}/V$$ for VDS = 50 m V and VGS = 2V,
gd = $$8\mu {\rm A}/V$$ for VGS = 2 V and VDS = 0 V,
Where gm =$${{\partial {{\rm I}_D}} \over {\partial {V_{GS}}}}\,\,and\,\,{g_d}\,\, = \,{{\partial {{\rm I}_D}} \over {\partial {V_{DS}}}}$$
gm = 0.5$$\mu {\rm A}/V$$ for VDS = 50 m V and VGS = 2V,
gd = $$8\mu {\rm A}/V$$ for VGS = 2 V and VDS = 0 V,
Where gm =$${{\partial {{\rm I}_D}} \over {\partial {V_{GS}}}}\,\,and\,\,{g_d}\,\, = \,{{\partial {{\rm I}_D}} \over {\partial {V_{DS}}}}$$
The threshold voltage (in volts) of the transistor is
