MOSFETs and IV Curves
Introduction

Various VDS voltages across MOSFETs will give you an IV curve where you can see the cutoff, saturation region, and linear regions of the plots.

Methods

ElectricVLSI was used to build the NMOS and PMOS transistor, and simulated using LTSpice after passing appropriate design checks.

Results

PMOS and NMOS schematics and layouts were created, and all passed DRC, NCC, and well checks. The simulations were ran and the various IV curves were plotted for each transistor.
