Lecture 32, 31 Mar 14 • Chp 06: MOSFETs • pn junctions/Depletion regions (examples)Channel Current IDS (n-channel p-substrate) VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Chp. 04: MOS: Gate Chp. 03: Interconnect Chp. 01: Si Chp. 02: pn n-p-n VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
For examples: Si @ r.t. Substrate is p-type with NA = 4 x 1015 cm-3 Matches Fig. 4.5 Does not match Fig. 4.10 (b) Qs ys ys VGate VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: What kind of pn junction is this: forward bias, reverse bias or equilibrium? VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Equilibrium: earth to earth. Continue Example: Find WD VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: M-O-S depletion region is identified. Find WDmax @ full inversion. + VG - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
WD = WDmax = WDm for low frequency operation VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
From Lec 31: Fig 4.8 (a): after strong inversion, increase Qm increase Qn while QDep and therefore WD stay the same. Low frequency High frequency, Slow ramp High frequency, Fast ramp WDmax is bigger WDmax is biggest Qn layer; no time to form at all Qn smaller Qn biggest VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
n=channel p-substrate “knee” in Vfor strong inversion. For VG less than value for strong inversion: Can find ys(VG) as in Pr. 4.05 using equivalent of Fig 4.10 (b). Note: this is Fgi. 10 (b). C-V in Fig. 4.10 (a) shows that this low frequency operation. ys VGate Warning: Fig. 4.10 is for NA = 1 x 1016 cm-3 not our example! VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: Is there an electric field across the channel region? Sub-question: “across” in which direction? + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
First check coordinate system: Chp. 04: MOS: Gate Chp. 03: Interconnect Chp. 01: Si Chp. 02: pn n-p-n VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
First check coordinate system: Take “across” Drain-Source: E (y) “0” < y < length of channel L L z Width = Z y SiO2 x Width of gate/ charge sheet under gate in a MOSFET is called “Z”. It is a dimension in e.g., cm. Don’t confuse with atomic number. VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Yes. There are (different) electric fields in both the y and x directions. y x + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: E (y) is due to the potential drop across the channel: e-’s move by F = q E (y) drift motion in the channel. + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: Is the shaded region an E (y) -field region or a pn junction depletion region? + VG - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Mixed. May have different field properties than channel. See Pr. 6.02. + VG - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Same here, see Pr. 02. + VG - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Note that Qn = Qn(y) in the Fig. + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: What kind of pn junction is this: forward bias, reverse bias or equilibrium? Assume VDS is on, as shown. + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Reverse bias. Continue Example: Find WD for Vrev = -6V. + VG - gnd + VDS - gnd VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Drain pn junction with VDS on Source pn junction with VDS on VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
The bigger depletion region at the Drain end leads to a physical pinch, which leads to saturation current. IDS free Qn . Qn Qn(y) VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Lecture 32, 31 Mar 14 • Chp 06: MOSFETs • pn junctions/Depletion regions (examples)Channel Current IDS (n-channel p-substrate) VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Channel current IDS Units-based guess: Need a length. Multiply by channel length L or channel width Z? ? VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Channel current IDS Units-based guess: Need a length. Multiply by channel length L or channel width Z? ? Answer: IDS = Z Qn vel => dIDS = Z dQn(y) vel(y) some dy then IDS =Sum up (integrate) dIDS VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Charge sheet model: to deal with Qn(y) Constant mobility model: to deal with vel(y) VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Result of Charge sheet model: Result of constant mobility model: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Result of Charge sheet model: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Channel width Z changes, channel length L stays the same Therefore: You fabricated a new device with a different gate dimension. VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Example: For the new device, Z = ? to do the specified job. VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Given: device 01 is a “Square” MOSFET: Length L = width Z VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Did not change the Drain or Gate batteries as well as the gate length VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
Answer: Dividing info from two readings to get rid of common unknowns is a standard approach. VM Ayres, ECE875, S14
