Consider an approximate model of the epitaxial resistivity in a silicon power transistor: A pyramid structure with a square base has a resistor in every edge of the structure. The structure of the model is shown in Figure 3 attached.   (a) Based on the description above, draw the relevant structure and include relevant resistors in your diagram. (b) Suppose the value of all resistors is R Ω, calculate the total resistance viewing from any of the a-x pairs. (c) Is the total resistance similar for all possible vertex pairs? Verify your statement above by including relevant calculation proof.
