College of Engineering, Kottarakara First Series Examination, Jan 2015 Ec 1603 Vlsi Design

This document contains an exam for a VLSI Design course, with two parts. Part A contains 5 short answer questions about Moore's Law, LOCOS, threshold voltage, MOS transistor operation modes, and twin-tub process. Part B contains two long answer questions - the first about CMOS IC fabrication steps or n-well process, and the second about pMOS transistor operation or nMOS fabrication steps and SOI process.
