VLSI viva compilation

All the below stuff is a compiled post from google of all the viva questions asked on vlsi and avlsi , do take a look  I've actually made this for me :P ( Last minute Reading Stuff :) ;) ) 1. Why does the present VLSI circuits use MOSFETs instead of BJTs? Compared to BJTs, MOSFETs can be made very small as they occupy very small silicon area on IC chip and are relatively simple in terms of manufacturing. Moreover digital and memory ICs can be implemented with circuits that use only MOSFETs i.e. no resistors, diodes, etc. 2. What are the various regions of operation of MOSFET? How are those regions used? MOSFET has three regions of operation: the cut-off region, the triode region, and the saturation region. The cut-off region and the triode region are used to operate as switch. The saturation region is used to operate as amplifier. 3. What is threshold voltage? The value of voltage between Gate and Source i.e. V GS at which a sufficient number of mobile e
