# Homework 5 - Aidan Sharpe ## Problem 1 If the gate oxide thickness in a SiO$_2$-based structure is 2[nm], what would be the thickness of an HfO$_2$-based dielectric providing the same capacitance? $k_\text{SiO2} = 3.9$ $k_\text{HfO2} = 20$ $$2\text{[nm]} \frac{2.0}{3.9} = \boxed{10.26\text{[nm]}}$$ ## Problem 2 Using the SUBM rules, clculate the minimum uncontacted and contacted transistor pitch. ### Uncontacted $\lambda + 3\lambda + \lambda = \boxed{5\lambda}$ ### Contacted $\lambda + 2\lambda + 2\lambda + 2\lambda + \lambda = \boxed{5\lambda}$
