1 MOS Transistor Theory So far, we have viewed a MOS transistor as an ideal switch (digital operation) Reality: less than ideal EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 1 Introduction So far, we have treated transistors as ideal switches An ON transistor passes a finite amount of current Depends on terminal voltages Derive current-voltage (I-V) relationships Transistor gate, source, drain all have capacitance I = C (ΔV/Δt) -> Δt = (C/I) ΔV Capacitance and current determine speed Also explore what a degraded level really means EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 2 1

2 MOS Transistor Theory Study conducting channel between source and drain Modulated by voltage applied to the gate (voltagecontrolled device) nmos transistor: majority carriers are electrons (greater mobility), p-substrate doped (positively doped) pmos transistor: majority carriers are holes (less mobility), n-substrate (negatively doped) EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 3 Terminal Voltages Mode of operation depends on V g, V d, V s + + V gs = V g V V gs s - V gd = V g V d V V ds = V d V s = V gs -V s - gd V + ds Source and drain are symmetric diffusion terminals By convention, source is terminal at lower voltage Hence V ds 0 nmos body is grounded. First assume source is 0 too. Three regions of operation Cutoff Linear Saturation V g V gd - V d EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 4 2

3 Source Gate Biasing Gate SiO 2 Drain n + Channel n E p-substrate V gs =0: no current flows from source to drain (insulated by two reverse biased pn junctions V gs >0: electric field created across substrate V SS (Gnd) Electrons accumulate under gate: region changes from p-type to n-type Conduction path between source and drain EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 5 p-substrate nmos Device Behavior Polysilicon gate Oxide insulator Inversion Region (n-type) Depletion region Depletion region V gs << V t Accumulation mode V gs = V t Depletion mode V gs > V t Inversion mode Enhancement-mode transistor: Conducts when gate bias V gs > V t Depletion-mode transistor: Conducts when gate bias is zero EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 6 3

4 nmos Cutoff No channel I ds = 0 V gs = g + - V gd s n+ n+ p-type body b d EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 7 nmos Linear Channel forms Current flows from d to s e - from s to d I ds increases with V ds Similar to linear resistor V gs > V t + - s g + - V gd = V gs n+ n+ V ds = 0 p-type body b d V gs > V t + - s g + - V gs > V gd > V t d I ds n+ n+ 0 < V ds < V gs -V t p-type body b EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 8 4

5 nmos Saturation Channel pinches off I ds independent of V ds We say current saturates Similar to current source V gs > V t + - g + - V gd < V t s d I ds n+ n+ V ds > V gs -V t p-type body b EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 9 I-V Characteristics In linear region, I ds depends on How much charge is in the channel? How fast is the charge moving? EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 10 5

14 Current-Voltage Relations k n : transconductance of transistor W : width-to-length ratio L As W increases, more carriers available to conduct current As L increases, V ds diminishes in effect (more voltage drop). Takes longer to push carriers across the transistor, reducing current flow EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 27 For a 0.6 μm process From AMI Semiconductor t ox = 100 Å μ = 350 cm 2 /V*s V t = 0.7 V Plot I ds vs. V ds V gs = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Use W/L = 4/2 λ Example A/ V L L L 14 W W W ox 8 β = μc = ( ) = μ I ds (ma) V gs = 2 V 0 gs = V ds V gs = 5 V gs = 4 V gs = 3 EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 28 14

15 pmos I-V All dopings and voltages are inverted for pmos Mobility μ p is determined by holes Typically 2-3x lower than that of electrons μ n 120 cm 2 /V*s in AMI 0.6 μm process Thus pmos must be wider to provide same current In this class, assume μ n / μ p = 2 to 3 EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 29 Capacitance Any two conductors separated by an insulator have capacitance Gate to channel capacitor is very important Creates channel charge necessary for operation Source and drain have capacitance to body Across reverse-biased diodes Called diffusion capacitance because it is associated with source/drain diffusion EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 30 15

21 Effective Resistance Shockley models have limited value Not accurate enough for modern transistors Too complicated for much hand analysis Simplification: treat transistor as resistor Replace I ds (V ds, V gs ) with effective resistance R I ds = V ds /R R averaged across switching of digital gate Too inaccurate to predict current at any given time But good enough to predict RC delay EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 41 RC Delay Model Use equivalent circuits for MOS transistors Ideal switch + capacitance and ON resistance Unit nmos has resistance R, capacitance C Unit pmos has resistance 2R, capacitance C Capacitance proportional to width Resistance inversely proportional to width g d k s g d R/k kc s kc kc g d k s g s kc 2R/k kc kc d EE 261 Krish Chakrabarty 42 21
