Introduction toMetal-Oxide-SemiconductorField Effect Transistors(MOSFETs)Chapter 7, Anderson and Anderson
MOSFET • History • Structure • Review • Future • Threshold Voltage • I-V Characteristics • Modifications to I-V: • Depletion layer correction (Sup. 3) • Mobility, Vsat • Short Channel Effects • Channel Length Modulation • Channel Quantum Effects • MOSFET Scaling and Current Topics (Literature + Sup. 3) • Subthreshold Behavior • Damage and Temperature (Sup. 3) • Spice (Sup. 3) • HFET, MESFET, JFET, DRAM, CCD (Some in Sup. 3)
MOSFET History (Very Short!) • First Patents: • 1935 • Variable Capacitor Proposed: • 1959 • Silicon MOS: • 1960 • Clean PMOS, NMOS: • Late 1960s, big growth! • CCDs: • 1970s, Bell Labs • Switch to CMOS: • 1980s
