This capacitance is approximated from the interconnect capacitance Cpoly-field (overhang capacitor is not a true parallel-plate capacitor)
Cpoly-field = |

|
LRWR |
|
where
Cmeas = Cmeas = measured value of the polysilicon strip
LR = length of the centerline of the polysilicon strip
WR = width of the polysilicon strip (usually chosen as device length)
Having determined Cpoly-field, CGB0 can be approximated as |
|
CGB0 2 (Cpoly-field)(doverhang) = 2C5 (F/m) |

where |
|
doverhang = overhang dimension (see Rule 3D, Table 2.6-1) |

where
VJ = the reverse bias voltage across the junction
CJ(VJ) = bottom junction capacitance at VJ
CJSW(VJ) = junction capacitance of sidewall at VJ
A = area of the (bottom) of the capacitor

The constants CJ and MJ can be determined by measuring a large
rectangular capacitor structure where the contribution from the sidewall capacitance is minimal. For such a structure, CJ(VJ) can be approximated

Plotting log[CJ(VJ)] versus log[1 + VJ/PB] and determine the slope, −MJ, and the Y intercept (where Y is the term on the left), Log[ACJ(0)]. Knowing the area of the capacitor, the calculation of the bottom junction capacitance is straightforward.

WHAT IS A SUBCIRCUIT?
A subcircuit is a circuit which consists of one or more transistors and generally perfoms only one function.
A subcircuit is generally not used by itself but in conjunction with other subcircuits.

MOS SWITCH VOLTAGE RANGES
Assume the MOS switch connects to circuits and the analog signal can vary from 0 to 5V. What are the voltages required at the terminals of the MOS switch to make it work properly?

•The bulk voltage must be less than or equal to zero to insure that the bulk-source and bulk-drain are reverse biased.
•The gate voltage must be greater than 5 + VT in order to turn the switch on.
Therefore,
VBulk ≤ 0V
VG ≥ 5 + VT
(Remember that the larger the value of VSB, the larger VT)
