I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. P.E. Allen for giving me this research opportunity. During the course of the research, the discussions and his advice helped me develop the thought process for the research. Understanding the root cause of a problem and finding the optimal solution is one of the many things I learnt from him. His consistent support has been very valuable in this research.

Contributions of the Research
The research in this thesis was aimed at investigating the feasibility of developing
scalable analog circuit techniques across different technologies with small
channel lengths. An op amp was chosen as an example circuit, and its smallsignal
gain, UGBW frequency and phase margin were chosen as the target
performance specifications to be made constant across different technologies. It
was also intended to perform the design with all small channel length devices.
Based on this research, the various contributions are summarized below:
