To determine the capacitance per transistor gate for a 16K Static RAM by 1-bit memory array, we need to consider the capacitance of the select transistor gate. First, let's calculate the total number of memory cells in the array: Number of memory cells = 128 x 128 = 16,384 Next, we can calculate the width of the polysilicon select line: Width of polysilicon select line = 3?m The length of the polysilicon select line is equal to the square root of the physical array area: Length of polysilicon select line =    Therefore, the total resistance of the polysilicon select line is: Resistance of polysilicon select line =    The delay of the select line to reach cell number 128 is given as: Selectline delay to cell no. 128 = 63.03ns We can use this to calculate the capacitance of the select transistor gate: Capacitance of select transistor gate =    =    Finally, we can calculate the capacitance per transistor gate by dividing the capacitance of the select transistor gate by the area of the transistor gate: Capacitance per transistor gate = Capacitance of select transistor gate / Select transistor gates area =    0.054fF/?m²
