Electrical Properties
Necessary to understand basic electrical properties of the MOS
transistor to design useful circuits
Deal with non-ideal devices
Ensure that the circuits are robust
Create working layouts
Predict delays and power consumption
As circuit dimensions
scale down, electrical
effects become more
important, even for
digital circuits
