Last time Gate layouts and stick diagrams This time MOS transistor theory (ideal case) Lecture05: MOS transistor theory
gate-oxide-body sandwich = capacitor • Operating modes • Accumulation • Depletion • Inversion • The charge accumulated is proportional to the excess gate-channel voltage (Vgc-Vt)
Cut off Vgs < Vt • Linear (resistor): Vgs > Vt & Vds < Vgs-Vt NMOS transistor, 0.25um, Ld = 10um, W/L = 1.5, VDD = 2.5V, VT = 0.4V Current α Vds • Saturation: Vgs > Vt and Vds ≥ Vgs-Vt Current is independent of Vds The MOS transistor has three regions of operation
MOS structure looks like parallel plate capacitor while operating in inversion Gate – oxide – channel Qchannel = CV C = εoxWL/tox = CoxWL (where Cox=εox/tox) V = Vgc – Vt = (Vgs – Vds/2) – Vt How to calculate the current value?
Charge is carried by electrons Carrier velocity v proportional to lateral E-field between source and drain v = μE μ called mobility E = Vds/L Time for carrier to cross channel: t = L / v Carrier velocity is a factor in determining the current
Now we know How much charge Qchannel is in the channel How much time t each carrier takes to cross I=Q/t
Can be ignored for small Vds In linear mode (Vgs > Vt & Vds < Vgs-Vt) • For a given Vgs, Ids is proportional (linear) to Vds
In saturation mode (Vgs > Vt and Vds ≥ Vgs-Vt) • Now drain voltage no longer increases current
Operation modes summary • 0.6 micron process • tox = 100 Å • m = 350 cm2/V*s • Vt = 0.7 V • W/L = 4/2 l
