Process Variations
Devices parameters vary between runs and even on
the same die!
Variations in the process parameters, such as impurity concentration den-
sities, oxide thicknesses, and diffusion depths. These are caused by non-
uniform conditions during the deposition and/or the diffusion of the
impurities. This introduces variations in the sheet resistances and transis-
tor parameters such as the threshold voltage.
Variations in the dimensions of the devices, mainly resulting from the
limited resolution of the photolithographic process. This causes (W/L)
variations in MOS transistors and mismatches in the emitter areas of
bipolar devices.
