Insulator Conductor Conductor Looks Like…….
SiO2 +V Gnd. p-type Si Metal and Polysilicon The positive charge on the metal is matched by negative charge from the ions in the p-type semiconductor. The h+ just get pushed away from the interface between the insulator and the p-type semiconductor leaving only the “stuck” charged atoms. We call this the depletion region - we now have a 2-layer insulator.
SiO2 ++V Gnd. p-type Si Electron Channel Metal and Polysilicon Once a maximum width is reached for the “depletion region” the electrons in the material are attracted to the SiO2 / p-type Si interface and now there is an channel of electrons right underneath the SiO2

Things You Need To Know • r(Si) = 11.8 r(SiO2) = 3.9 • The length of the “channel” is 1. • The n+ source and drain, the polysilicon and the p+ semiconductor are metal-like conductors.
