what is conductance and valence band?

Answer Posted / sharekhan

Conduction band: Its a band representing the total number
of electrons(of all atoms of a semiconductor material)
available for conduction.
For an n-type semiconductor,conduction band contains large
number of electrons & for p-type semiconductor, CB contains
few number of electrons.

Valence Band: Its a band representing the total number of
holes of all atoms of a semiconductor material.
For an n-type semiconductor,valence band contains few
number of holes & for p-type semiconductor, VB contains
large number of holes.

Conduction band is at a higher energy level than valence
band

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
