  • The overlap between the gate and the source and drain region is required to ensure that the inversion layer forms a continuous conducting path between the source and drain region. Typically this overlap is made as small as possible in order to minimize its parasitic capacitance.
  • Gate-to-Source/ Drain overlap assures good electrostatic control of the channel, and hence, a strong ON state current ION.
