Not sure what "drain area" means. It is good design to have a voltage plane and a ground plane on a multi-layer PCB.
Details about voltage planes and ground planes can be found at https://Electronics.FoxPing.com/ => 2.1 Electronic Component Physical Packages --- 4.6 Electronic Differential Input and Differential Output Op Amp --- 7.4 Electronic PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) --- 7.6 Electronic PCB Fabrication --- 7.9 Electronic Conformal Coating and Potting --- 8.4 Electronic PCB Layouts.
Using the Electric VLSI design software, you can design any MOSFET by defining the main parameters such as the length and width of your device. Drain area extraction and many other parameters can then be performed using the desired technology node and the Spice simulator.
The drain area in the layout design can be calculated using the following formula:
Drain Area = W * L
Where:
- W is the width of the drain
- L is the length of the drain
The width of the drain is determined by the design rules of the process. The length of the drain is determined by the desired current through the drain.
For example, if the width of the drain is 10 microns and the length of the drain is 20 microns, then the drain area will be 200 square microns.
The drain area is important because it determines the amount of heat that is dissipated by the drain. The larger the drain area, the more heat will be dissipated. This is important to consider when designing a circuit, as you need to make sure that the heat generated by the drain can be dissipated effectively.
Here are some additional tips for calculating the drain area in layout design:
- Use the design rules of the process to determine the width of the drain.
- Use the desired current through the drain to determine the length of the drain.
- Consider the amount of heat that will be dissipated by the drain when designing the circuit.
