Questions and Answers

What is the reason behind calling certain capacitances 'junction' capacitances?

Due to their high dependence on bias voltages

Because they are formed between the two materials at PN junctions (correct)

Because they are highly dependent on the channel length of the MOSFET

Due to their relation to the drain of the CMOS structure

Cdb

Cgd

Csb (correct)

Cgs

In a n+ / p junction, what does the Area of diffusion region to substrate beneath gate equal to?

$Y \cdot xj$
