Digital Integrated CircuitsA Design Perspective Jan M. Rabaey Anantha Chandrakasan Borivoje Nikolic The Devices July 30, 2002
Goal of this chapter • Present intuitive understanding of device operation • Introduction of basic device equations • Introduction of models for manual analysis • Introduction of models for SPICE simulation • Analysis of secondary and deep-sub-micron effects • Future trends

What is the most important fact(feature) about semiconductor? • 왜 반도체인가? 전도도가 도체와 절연체의 중간이라서? • Ans; 자유전자와 hole 의 공존(에너지 대역 상에서 서로 다른 곳에) • 왜 free electron 과 hole 이 존재하게 되는가? • Fermi 준위가 Band Gap 을 통과하는 물질이 반도체이다. Special names were given to two neighboring E-bands; Others are simply nameless; Conduction band and Valence band as 1st lane and 2nd lane in the 2-lane highway system. • Bound electron has quantized (discrete) E-levels; Perturbation of neighboring atoms in infinitum would produce E-continuum; Periodic structure of crystal lattice yields some screening of the perturbing effects of indirect neighbors yielding E-bands.
@반도체 에서 Energy Gap 이 생기는 이유 • 수소 단원자(Single hydrogen atom) 모델; discrete energy levels • 두 개의 수소 원자 모델; Split Energy levels • N 개의 수소 원자 모델; N 개의 split levels • What happens if N becomes so large?; Energy band and then Energy continuum. • What happens if that is the case with single crystal?; Energy gap appears due to screening effects
Questions to ask now. 1. Why are Q- and Q+ of the same magnitude? 2. Why BV gets smaller with higher doping? 3. How are potential drop divided between n- and p-regions in the depletion region? 4. How does current flow in each region, depletion region, neutral region, and region in between? Depletion Region
@PN junction • Charge neutrality; Qp=Qn ->q*Np*Xp=q*Nn*Xn • Va=Vp+Vn • Express Vp, Vn with N, X. • Express BV as a function of Ecrit. • Explain why BV goes low with higher N(Np or Nn).
Forward Bias Lp ; Diffusion Length Forward bias is typically avoided in Digital ICs
Reverse Bias The Dominant Operation Mode
Junction Capacitance You can derive this either from C=Es/Xd or from C=dQ/dV Why does LGJ(Linearly-Graded Junction) show less steep Cj Vs. Vd behavior?
Small-signal vs. Large-signal Capacitance • Small-signal; C=Es/Xd, where Xd is a function of V(bias voltage) • Large-signal; verage capacitance is defined by Ceq=(Qj(V1)-Qj(V2))/(V1-V2)
