A consistent model for the wiring delay of the MOS inverter

The authors deal with this problem associated to the simplest enhancement mode n-MOS inverter, connected through a line L to a load modelled by a capacitor C. For strictly positive characteristic constants r, c, g of the line the authors derived certain qualitative properties of the ∈-modified model of the MOS inverter connected to a capacitive load through a distributed parameter element. These properties validate using the proposed model in the study of the influence of the interconnection line on the delay time of the MOS inverter
