MOS Capacitors ECE 2204

Some Classes of Field Effect Transistors Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor ▫ MOSFET, which will be the type that we will study in this course. Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor ▫ MESFET, typically fabricated with III-V semiconductors Junction Field Effect Transistor ▫ JFET, resilient to electrostatic discharge (ESD) High Electron Mobility Transistor or Modulation Doped Field Effect Transistor ▫ HEMT or MODFET, typically fabricated with III-V semiconductors Fast Reverse/Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode ▫ FREDFET DNA Field Effect Transistor ▫ The conduction path is through a strand of DNA

Field Effect Transistors A voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor, which produces an electric field within the semiconductor. ▫ Typically, the gate current is zero. The conductivity (or resistivity) of the path between two contacts, the source and the drain, is altered by the voltage applied to the gate. ▫ Device is also known as a voltage controlled resistor.

MOS Capacitor The operation of a metal-oxide-semiconductor is used to explain the operation of the MOSFET. ▫ In a MOSFET, the channel in the semiconductor, the oxide, and the gate metalization forms a MOS capacitor.  The structure looks like a parallel plate capacitor where one of the plates is the semiconductor and the other is the gate metalization. The insulator between the parallel plates is the oxide. Semiconductor Oxide

MOS Capacitor  ox t ox  OX =  ox  o where  ox is the relative dielectric constant of the oxide.

Operation of a MOS Capacitor In the following analysis, it is assumed that the channel in the semiconductor is lightly doped with acceptors (i.e., p type). ▫ There are three regions of operation  Accumulation (in this case, V G < 0 V)  Depletion (in this case, 0 V ≤ V G ≤ V TN )  Inversion (in this case, V G ≥ V TN )

Accumulation (V G < 0 V) An electric field E is induced by the applied voltage V G. ▫ More holes are at the oxide-semiconductor interface than expected from the concentration of acceptors.  Holes are attracted to interface by the negative gate voltage.  Electrons are repelled towards the body contact.

Depletion (0 V < V G ≤ V TN ) The induced electric field E causes the concentration of holes at the oxide-semiconductor interface to be smaller than the acceptor concentration and the electron concentration to be greater than expected.

Depletion Mode Capacitance The unscreened acceptors and a higher than expected electron concentration at the oxide semiconductor interface induce an electric field in the semiconductor, producing a depletion region to form.

Inversion (V G ≥ V TN ) The gate voltage is large enough that the concentration of electrons at the oxide-semiconductor interface is greater than the concentration of holes. ▫ The type of the semiconductor has effectively been converted from p-type to n-type. The voltage when n = p at the oxide- semiconductor interface is called the threshold voltage, V TN.

Inversion Mode Capacitance A depletion region still exists in the semiconductor, but is now located between the inverted (n-type) region and the remaining p-type semiconductor. ▫ The thickness of the depletion region W is constant, even if V G increases so the magnitude of the MOS capacitance is constant.

MOS Capacitance Is largest in the accumulation mode when V G ≤ 0 V Is smallest in the inversion mode when V G ≥ V TN Varies with V G in the depletion mode

Questions If the acceptor concentration is increased, will be threshold voltage have to increase or decrease? Do you expect the threshold voltage to increase or decrease as the temperature of the MOS capacitor is increased? Can you explain how the electron and hole concentration varies with V G if the semiconductor is initially n-type instead of p-type?
