6. The parasitic capacitances found in MOSFET are ___________
a) Oxide related capacitances
b) Inter electrode capacitance
c) Electrolytic capacitance
d) All of the mentioned
Explanation: The parasitic device capacitances can be classified into two major groups: oxide-related capacitances and junction capacitances.
7. The capacitance that exist between Gate and Bulk is called as ___________
a) Oxide parasitic capacitance
b) Metal oxide capacitance
c) MOS capacitance
d) None of the mentioned
Explanation: The capacitance that exist between Gate and Bulk is called as an oxide parasitic capacitance
8. In Cut-off Mode, the capacitance Cgs will be equal to ___________
a) 2Cgd
b) 0
c) Cgb
d) All of the mentioned
Explanation: In cut-off mode, the conducting channel does not exist, so gate-to-source and the gate-to-drain capacitances are both equal to zero.
9. In cut-off mode, the value of gate to substrate capacitance is equal to ___________
a) Cox .(W- L)
b) Cox W/ L
c) Cox* W*L
d) 0
Explanation: In Cut-off mode, the conducting channel does not exist, so gate-to-source and the gate-to-drain capacitances are both equal to zero. Therefore, the gate to substrate capacitance is equal to Cox* W*L.
10. In linear mode operation, the parasitic capacitances that exists are ___________
a) Nonzero Gate to source capacitance
b) Nonzero Gate to drain capacitance
c) Zero gate to substrate capacitance
d) All of the mentioned
Explanation: In linear-mode operation, the conducting channel exists, therefore there will be a finite amount of gate to source and gate to drain capacitances. Since the conducting channel exists, gate to substrate capacitance is reduced to zero.
