Summary of MOSFET Operating Regions • Strong Inversion VGS >VT • Linear (Resistive) VDS <VDSAT • Saturated (Constant Current) VDS VDSAT • Weak Inversion (Sub-Threshold) VGS VT • Exponential in VGS with linear VDS dependence
Future Perspectives 25 nm FINFET MOS transistor
New Tech: Silicon On Insulator (SOI) • Silicon wafers are highly perfect : critically important for achieving high device yield. • But a more radical change may be needed in the material structure, processing method, or device design in order to enhance the circuit performance.
Why use SOI • Extend the life of traditional silicon technology • Boost speed • Reduce power consumption • Solve some scaling difficulties
SiGe: Silicon Germanium • Used to be inefficient in chip production • Extremely high frequencies: 60Ghz • Very little power usage • 70% faster, 35% less power
Why SiGe The layer of latticed silicon and germanium added to the chips silicon layer increases the distance between silicon atoms Less force between atoms, easy for electrons to pass by with less resistance IBM suggests combining SiGe and SOI
Thermal problem with SiGe The diagram above shows the effect of localized self-heating in the emitters (30C for 40mv)
