Variations in the process parameters, such as impurity concentration densities, oxide thicknesses, and diffusion depths. These are caused by nonuniform conditions during the deposition and/or the diffusion of the impurities. This introduces variations in the sheet resistances and transistor parameters such as the threshold voltage. Variations in the dimensions of the devices, mainly resulting from the limited resolution of the photolithographic process. This causes (W/L) variations in MOS transistors and mismatches in the emitter areas of bipolar devices.
