Figure 5. 10 Cross-section of a CMOS integrated circuit Figure 5.10 Cross-section of a CMOS integrated circuit. Note that the PMOS transistor is formed in a separate n-type region, known as an n well. Another arrangement is also possible in which an n-type body is used and the n device is formed in a p well. Not shown are the connections made to the p-type body and to the n well; the latter functions as the body terminal for the p-channel device.

Figure 5. 33 Two load lines and corresponding bias points Figure 5.33 Two load lines and corresponding bias points. Bias point Q1 does not leave sufficient room for positive signal swing at the drain (too close to VDD). Bias point Q2 is too close to the boundary of the triode region and might not allow for sufficient negative signal swing.
