3 Semiconductors, Insulators, and Conductors E c E g=1.1 ev E c Ev E g= 9 ev E v Top of conduction band empty filled E c Si, Semiconductor SiO 2, insulator Conductor Totally filled bands and totally empty bands do not allow current flow. (Just as there is no motion of liquid in a totally filled or totally empty bottle.) Metal conduction band is half-filled. Semiconductors have lower E G s than insulators and can be doped EE143 Ali Javey
4 Dopants in Silicon Si Si Si Si Si Si Si As Si Si B Si Si Si Si Si Si Si As, a Group V element, introduces conduction electrons and creates N-type silicon, and is called a donor. B, a Group III element, introduces holes and creates P-type silicon, and is called an acceptor. EE143 Ali Javey
5 Types of charges in semiconductors Hole Electron Mobile Charge Carriers they contribute to current flow with electric field is applied. Ionized Donor Ionized Acceptor Immobile Charges they DO NOT contribute to current flow with electric field is applied. However, they affect the local electric field EE143 Ali Javey
6 Fermi Function The Probability of an Energy State Being Occupied by an Electron f ( E) = ( E E ) / kt E 1+ e 1 f E f is called the Fermi energy or the Fermi level. Boltzmann approximation: f ( E E ) kt f ( E) e E E f >> kt E f E f E f + 3kT + 2kT E f + kt ( E E f ) kt f ( E) e f ( E ) kt E ( E) 1 e f E E f << kt E f E f kt E f 2kT E f 3kT ( E f E ) kt f ( E) 1 e f(e) EE143 Ali Javey
7 Electron and Hole Concentrations n = N c e ( E E F C ) / kt N c is called the effective density of states. p = N v e ( E E V F ) / kt N v is called the effective density of states of the valence band. Remember: the closer E f moves up to E c, the larger n is; the closer E f moves down to E v, the larger p is. For Si, N c = cm -3 and N v = cm -3. EE143 Ali Javey
8 Shifting the Fermi Level EE143 Ali Javey
9 General Effects of Doping on n and p I. N N >> n (i.e., N-type) d a i n p = N d N a = n 2 i n If N d >> N a, n = Nd and p = 2 n i N d II. N N >> a d n i (i.e., P-type) p n = = N a N n 2 i p d If N >>, a N d p = Na and n = 2 n i N a EE143 Ali Javey
10 When an electric field is applied to a semiconductor, mobile carriers will be accelerated by the electrostatic force. This force superimposes on the random thermal motion of carriers: E =0 E.g. Electrons drift in the direction opposite to the E-field Current flows Average drift velocity = v = μ E 5 1 electron Carrier Drift EE143 Ali Javey Carrier mobility 2 E 1 electron
11 Carrier Mobility Mobile carriers are always in random thermal motion. If no electric field is applied, the average current in any direction is zero. Mobility is reduced by 1) collisions with the vibrating atoms phonon scattering - - 2) deflection by ionized impurity atoms Coulombic scattering - B- - As+ Si EE143 Ali Javey

13 Conductivity and Resistivity J p,drift = qpv = qpμ p J n,drift = qnv = qnμ n J drift = J n,drift + J p,drift = σ =(qnμ n +qpμ p ) conductivity of a semiconductor is σ = qnμ n + qpμ p Resistivity, ρ = 1/ σ EE143 Ali Javey
14 Relationship between Resistivity and Dopant Density DOPANT DENSITY cm -3 N-type P-type RESISTIVITY (Ω cm) ρ = 1/σ EE143 Ali Javey
15 W I + L V Material with resistivity ρ _ R s is the resistance when W = L R s Sheet Resistance t ρ t R s value for a given conductive layer (e.g. doped Si, metals) in IC or MEMS technology is used for design and layout of resistors for estimating values of parasitic resistance in a device or circuit R EE143 Ali Javey L = ρ Wt = R s L W (in ohms/square) if ρ is independent of depth x
16 Diffusion Current Particles diffuse from higher concentration to lower concentration locations. EE143 Ali Javey
17 J n, diffusion = qd Diffusion Current n dn dx J p, diffusion = qd p dp dx D is called the diffusion constant. Signs explained: n p x x EE143 Ali Javey
18 Generation/Recombination Processes Recombination continues until excess carriers = 0. Time constant of decay is called recombination lifetime EE143 Ali Javey

26 p-i-n Photodiodes Only electron-hole pairs generated in depletion region (or near depletion region) contribute to current Only light absorbed in depletion region contributes to generation Stretch depletion region Can also operate near avalanche to amplify signal
27 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) LEDs are typically made of compound semiconductors Why not Si
28 MOS Capacitors MOS: Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor V g metal gate V g gate SiO 2 N + SiO 2 N + Si body P-body MOS capacitor MOS transistor EE143 Ali Javey
29 Ideal MOS Capacitor Oxide has zero charge, and no current can pass through it. No charge centers are present in the oxide or at the oxidesemiconductor interface. Semiconductor is uniformly doped Φ M = Φ S = χ + (E C E F ) FB
30 Ideal MOS Capacitor At Equilibrium:
31 Ideal MOS Capacitor Under Bias Let us ground the semiconductor and start applying different voltages, V G, to the gate V G can be positive, negative or zero with respect to the semiconductor E F,metal E F,semiconductor = qv G Since oxide has no charge (it s an insulator with no available carriers or dopants), d E oxide / dx = ρ/ε = 0; meaning that the E-field inside the oxide is constant.
32 Inversion condition If we continue to increase the positive gate voltage, the bands at the semiconductor bends more strongly. At sufficiently high voltage, E i can be below E F indicating large concentration of electrons in the conduction band. We say the material near the surface is inverted. The inverted layer is not gotten by chemical doping, but by applying E-field. Where did we get the electrons from? When E i (surface) E i (bulk) = 2 [E F E i (bulk)], the condition is start of inversion, and the voltage V G applied to gate is called V T (threshold voltage). For V G > V T, the Si surface is inverted.
33
34 Ideal MOS Capacitor n-type Si
35
36 Electrostatic potential, φ(x) Define a new term, φ(x) taken to be the potential inside the semiconductor at a given point x. [The symbol φ instead of V used in MOS work to avoid confusion with externally applied voltage, V] 1 φ( x) = [ Ei (bulk) Ei q ( x)] Potential at any point x φ S = 1 q [ E i (bulk) E i (surface)] Surface potential φ F = 1 q [ E i (bulk) E F ] φ F related to doping concentration φ F > 0 means p-type φ F < 0 means n-type
37 Electrostatic potential φ S is positive if the bands bend\.? φ S = 2φ F at the depletion-inversion transition point (threshold voltage)
38 Charge Density - Accumulation p-type silicon accumulation condition V G < 0 M O S p-si The accumulation charges in the semiconductor are., and appear close to the surface and fall-off rapidly as x increases. One can assume that the free carrier concentration at the oxide-semiconductor interface is a δ-function. Accumulation of holes x Charge on metal = Q M Charge on semiconductor = (charge on metal) Q Accumulation = Q M
39 Charge Density - Depletion p-type Si, depletion condition The depletion charges in Si are immobile ions - results in depletion layer similar to that in pn junction or Schottky diode. V G > 0 M O S p-si q N A A W = Q M ( ) (+) If surface potential is φ s, then the depletion layer width W will be Q M w Depletion of holes W = 2ε qn Si A φ S Does this equation look familiar?
40 Charge Density - Inversion p-type Si, strong inversion Once inversion charges appear, they remain close to the surface since they are.. Any additional voltage to the gate results in extra Q M in gate and get compensated by extra inversion electrons in semiconductor. V G >>0 Q M M O S w p-si Depletion of holes Inversion electrons: δ-function-like So, the depletion width does not change during inversion. Electrons appear as δ- function near the surface. Maximum depletion layer width W = W T
41 MOS C-V characteristics The measured MOS capacitance (called gate capacitance) varies with the applied gate voltage A very powerful diagnostic tool for identifying threshold voltage, oxide thickness, substrate doping concentration, and flat band voltage. It also tells you how close to an ideal MOSC your structure is. Measurement of C-V characteristics Apply any dc bias, and superimpose a small (15 mv) ac signal (typically 1 khz 1 MHz)
42 C-V: under accumulation Consider p-type Si under accumulation. V G < 0 M O S p-si V G < 0. Looks similar to parallel plate capacitor. Accumulation of holes C G = C ox where C ox = (ε ox A) / x ox x C G is constant as a function of V G
43 C-V: under depletion Depletion condition: V G > 0 V G > 0 M O S p-type Si C G is C ox in series with C s where C s can be defined as semiconductor capacitance Q M C ox W C s Depletion of holes C ox = ε ox A / x ox C s = ε Si A / W C G = C ox C s / (C ox + C S ) 2ε W = qn Si A φ where φ s is surface potential s C G decreases with increasing V G
44 C-V: under inversion (high frequency) V G = V T and V G > V T Inversion condition φ s = 2 φ F W = W 2ε Si T = 2 q NA At high frequency, inversion electrons are not able to respond to ac voltage. C ox = ε ox A / x ox φ C s = ε Si A / W T C G (ω )= C ox C s / (C ox + C S ) F V G >>0 Q M M O S W p-si Inversion electrons δ- function Depletion of holes C ox C s C G will be constant for V G V T
45 C-V: under inversion (low frequency) At low frequency, the inversion electrons will be able to respond to the ac voltage. So, the gate capacitance will be equal to the oxide capacitance (similar to a parallel plate capacitance). C G (ω 0) = C ox = ε ox A / x ox C ox C low frequency high frequency V fb V t accumulation depletion inversion V g Ideal MOSC (p-type Si) C G increases for V G V T until it reaches C ox

51 Introduction to the MOSFET Basic MOSFET structure and IV characteristics
52 Introduction to the MOSFET Two ways of representing a MOSFET:
53
54 Complementary MOSFETs (CMOS) NFET PFET When V g = V dd, the NFET is on and the PFET is off. When V g = 0, the PFET is on and the NFET is off.
55 Qualitative discussion: n-mosfet V G > V T ; V DS 0 I D increases with V DS V G > V T ; V DS small, > 0 I D increases with V DS, but rate of increase decreases. V G > V T ; V DS pinch-off I D reaches a saturation value, I D,sat The V DS value is called V DS,sat V G > V T ; V DS > V DS,sat I D does not increase further, saturation region.
56 Threshold voltage for NMOS and PMOS When V G = V T, φ s = 2 φ F ; we get expression for V T. V ε 2q N 2 φ Si A T = φf + xox 2 εox εsi F Ideal n-channel (p-silicon) device both terms positive V T ε 2 = 2φ + Si q ND F xox 2φF εox εsi ε Si / ε ox = = 11.9 / Ideal p-channel (n-silicon) device both terms negative 1 φf = [ Ei (bulk) EF] q φ F > 0 means p-type φ F < 0 means n-type
57 How to Measure the V T of a MOSFET I ds V ds = 10mV V t V t is measured by extrapolating the I ds versus V gs (at low V ds ) curve to I ds = 0. V gs I dsat W = Coxe( Vgs Vt ) μnsv L ds V gs V t
58 Quantitative I D -V DS Relationships 1 st attempt I D = Zμ L n C ox ( V V ) G T Square Law V DS 2 DS V 2 < V DS < ; DS, sat V G > VT 0 V I D will increase as V DS is increased, but when V G V DS = V T, pinch-off occurs, and current saturates when V DS is increased further. This value of V DS is called V DS,sat. i.e., V DS,sat = V G V T and the current when V DS = V DS,sat is called I DS,sat. I D,sat Z μc 2 L = ox G T D V DS, sat ( V V ) 2 V > ; V G > VT Here, C ox is the oxide capacitance per unit area, C ox = ε ox / x ox
59 I D -V DS characteristics expected from a long channel (ΔL << L) MOSFET (n-channel), for various values of V G
