  2. 8.1 MOSFET PRINCIPLES 8.1.1 MOSFET Structure Figure 8.1(a) Schematic cross section and (b) the circuit symbol of an N-channel MOSFET. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  3. Figure 8.2Types of MOSFETs. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  4. 8.1.2 MOSFET as a Voltage – Controlled Switch Figure 8.3Cross-sectional illustrations of a MOSFET in (a) off (b) on modes, along with (c) the corresponding current-voltagecharacteristics. (8.1) Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  5. Figure 8.4Two-dimensional energy-band diagram for the semiconductor part of an N-channel MOSFET in the flat-band condition. Thetwo different colors in the conduction band indicate the two different types of doping: N type in the source and drain regions, andP type in the body. Darker colors indicate higher carrier concentration, and the nearly white areas indicate the depletion region. (8.2) (8.3) Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  6. Figure 8.5Two-dimensional energy-band diagrams for an N-channel MOSFET acting as a switch in (a) off mode and (b) on mode. The two colors in the conduction band indicate the concentrations of electrons and holes: darker colors correspond to higher carrier concentrations, whereas the nearly white areas indicate depleted regions. Note that the depleted regions correspond to the areas with sloped energy bands and therefore with existence of built-in and externally applied electric field. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  7. Figure 8.6(a) The circuit of CMOS inverter. (b) Typical input/output signals. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  8. 8.1.3 The Threshold Voltage and the Body Effect Figure 8.7Illustration of the body effect. (a) VSBvoltage increases the barrier between the electrons in the source and the drain. (b) The surface potential of 2fFdoes not reduce the barrier sufficiently for the electrons to be able to move into the channel. (c) The surface potential needed to form the channel is 2fF+VSB. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  11. 8.1.4 MOSFET as a Voltage – Controlled Current Source : Mechanisms of Current Saturation Figure 8.8(a) Cross section of a MOSFET in the saturation region. (b) The corresponding ID-VDScharacteristics. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  12. Figure 8.9Two-dimensional energy-band diagrams for an N-channel MOSFET in saturation due to channel pinch off. A comparison of the smaller VDSbias in (a) to the larger VDSvalue in (b) shows that the channel is shortened by the increased drain-to-source bias, but the concentration of electrons in the channel is not changed. As in the waterfall analogy, the drain current is limited by the concentration of the electrons in the channel and not by the height of the fall. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev

  30. 8.3.6 Subthreshold Current Figure 8.20 The use of a logarithmic drain axis emphasizes the subthreshold region of a transfer characteristic (the subthreshold currentcannot be seen with a linear axis).

(a) Devices with similar characteristics were experimentally demonstrated as early as 1987, but they exhibit pronounced short-channel effects and very high off current. (b) As knownfrom the down-scaling rules, an increase in the substrate doping eliminates the short-channel effects, but also increases the threshold voltage, in this case above the 1.0-V supply voltage. (c) Down-scaling rules require a 1.1-nm gate oxide that leaks a very high input current. Principles of Semiconductor Devices Dimitrijev
