1 PN Junction and MOS structure
2 Basic electrostatic equations We will use simple one-dimensional electrostatic equations to develop insight and basic understanding of how semiconductor devices operate Gauss's Law Potential Equation Poisson's Equation It puts together Gauss's Law and the potential equation
3 Gauss's Law E = electric field [V/m] de dx charge density [C/m 3 ] permittivity [F/m] charge per area in the interval from x a to x [C/m 2 ] x x a x d E x x E x a E x a x a xdx S x The possibility of a change in permittivity due to a material interface has been accounted for by keeping the permittivity together with the field
4 Potential Equation reference point x x x R E xdx x R E x d x dx
5 Poisson's Equation It directly links the potential with the charge distribution (there is no need to go through the field) de dx E x d dx d 2 x dx 2 de x dx
6 Boundary Conditions Electronic devices are made of layers of different materials We need conditions for and E at the boundary between two materials
7 Potential at a boundary An abrupt jump of ( along x ) would lead to an infinite electric field at the boundary E x d dx Infinite electric fields are not possible (they would tear the material apart) Therefore (x) must be continuous: 0 0 Where the boundary is located at x = 0
8 Electric Field at a boundary The electric field usually jumps at a boundary d Ex 2 E x 1 E x By letting 0 : x dx0 x dx 2 E x0 1 E x0 0 2 E x0 1 E x0 S x dx S There can be a sheet of charge at the boundary A sheet of charge is an Infinite amount of charge all distributed on the boundary surface (that is a Dirac function)

12 In many IC processes there are two or more levels of metal separated by silicon oxide Metal Metal Capacitor
13 Metal Metal Capacitor
14 Metal Metal Capacitor Since there is no charge present in the oxide the electric field in the oxide is constant Since the electric field in the oxide is constant and the voltage drop across the gap is V de dx = 0 t d t d 0E ox dx 0 V 0t d it follows that: E ox V t d E ox metal ox E metal S ox V t d S ox S d S dv ox t d No electric field inside metals Capacitance per unit area [F/m 2 ]

19 M-O-S Electric Field The electric field is confined in the region t ox < x < X d NOTE: the total excess charge in the region t ox < x < X d is zero M O S In the metal the electric field is 0 In the oxide ( t ox < x < 0) the charge density is zero ((x)=0), therefore the electric field is constant fort ox x0: de x dx x 0 0 E xe ox ox
20 M-O-S Electric Field NOTE: The electric field jumps only at the interface between two different materials M O S Outside the charged region of the silicon (x > X d ) the electric field is 0 In the charged region of the silicon (0 < x < X d ) the charge density is constant ( 0 ) therefore the electric field is a linear function of x de x 0 X d 0 dx s E x d s E 0 0 dx s 0 E 0 0 X d s

25 PN Junction in Thermal Equilibrium If no external stimulus is applied (zero applied voltage, no external light source, etc) the device will eventually reach a steady state status of thermal equilibrium In this state ( open circuit and steady state condition) the current density must be zero: J tot,0 J p, 0 J n,0 0 Eventually, the populations of electrons and holes are each in equilibrium and therefore must have zero current densities J p,0 0 J n,0 0
26 Diffusion Mechanism The charge on the two sides of the junction must be equal (charge neutrality) Under open circuit and steady state conditions the built in electric field opposes the diffusion of free carriers until there is no net charge movement N A > N D We assumed the n-side is the more lightly doped
27 Diffusion Current It s a manifestation of thermal random motion of particles (statistical phenomenon) In a material where the concentration of particles is uniform the random motion balances out and no net movement result (drunk sail-man walk Brownian walks) If there is a difference (gradient) in concentration between two parts of a material, statistically there will be more particles crossing from the side of higher concentration to the side of lower concentration than in the reverse direction. Then we expect a net flux of particles
28 Diffusion Equations I n Aq e dn dx charge in the cross section The more non uniform the concentration the larger the current Proportionality Constants dn I n D n Aq e dx D Aqdn n dx I p D p Aq h dn dx D p Aq dn dx Assuming the charge concentration decreases with increasing x It means that dn/dx and dp/dx are negative, so to conform with conventions we must put a sign in front of the equations.

35 Neutrality of charge There are 4 charged particles in silicon, two mobiles (holes and electrons) and two fixed (ionized donors and ionized acceptors) The total positive change density and the total negative charge must be equal positive ions concentration N D pn A n holes concentration negative ions concentration electrons concentration

For silicon the breakdown point is reached for an electric field of approx V/m. NOTE: the depletion region can't get bigger than the length of the bar! if we keep increasing the voltage the depletion region will disappear (v= 0 ). As v becomes comparable with 0 the PN junction behave like a sort of resistor (the current is determined by the ohmic contacts and the resistance of the semiconductor)
42 Reverse Biased PN Junction E 0 Under reverse bias the depletion region becomes wider Then, it gets harder for the majority carriers to cross (diffuse through) the junction and easier for the minority carrier to be swept (drifted) across the junction E Since there are only a FEW minority carriers, the current carried under reverse bias is negligible
43 Reverse Biased PN Junction E 0 E NOTE: As soon as a minority carrier, let's say an electron on the P side, is swept across the junction, on the N side it becomes a majority carrier. Every time a minority carrier on the P side is swept toward the N side it leaves one less minority carrier on the edge of the depletion region in the P region. The same is true for holes swept from the N side to the P side. Under reverse bias the minority carrier concentration at the edges of the depletion regions is depleted below their equilibrium value. Since the number of minority carriers is small anyway this won't be a major difference
44 Forward Biased PN Junction Under forward bias the depletion region shrinks Then, it gets easier for the majority carriers to cross (diffuse through) the junction and harder for the minority carrier to be swept (drifted) across the junction. Since there are a LOT of majority carriers we expect the current to be considerable

47 I/V characteristic of PN Junction Since the only region where we have net charge is between -x p and x n such region (a.k.a. space charge region) is the only one where there is electric field. The regions from A to -x p and from x n to K are quasi-neutral (it is like they were perfect conductors and in perfect conductors there is no electric field inside)

49 I/V characteristic of PN Junction Under forward bias close to the depletion edges we have: a greater hole concentration than normal on the N side (minority carriers) a greater electrons concentration than normal on the P side (minority carriers) P In the P region we have a lot of holes that will diffuse toward the N region N In the N region we have a lot of electrons that will diffuse toward the P region
50 I/V characteristic of PN Junction Extending the result derived at equilibrium we can write the voltage across the space charge region (between -x p and x n ) as: V j V x n V x p 0 V diode V T ln px p px n V T ln n x n nx p 0 V diode V T 0 V diode V T ln px p px n ln nx n nx p px n px p px p e e 0 V diode V T nx p n x n e 0 V diode V T e 0 V T n x n e 0 V T V diode V T V diode V e T
51 I/V characteristic of PN Junction And noting that: at the boundary of the quasi neutral P region at -Xp the hole density (majority carriers) is approximately equal at equilibrium as well as under bias, and the same is true for the electron density (majority carriers) at the boundary of the quasi neutral N region (at Xn) px p 0 p p0 0 p n0 n i V e T V e T n x n 0 n n0 0 n p0 n 2 i N V e T V A e T 2 N D the concentration of the majority carriers in the quasi neutral regions is approximately the same as the concentration at equilibrium

61 Depletion Capacitance Since the depletion charge does not change linearly with the applied voltage the resulting capacitor is non linear!! q J 0 v D q J v D A 2q s N A N D N A N D 0 v D An important physical consideration: we are dealing with a capacitor that no matter where I put the + of the applied voltage it always accumulate the positive charge on the N side of the junction, and the negative charge on the P side of the junction.
62 Small Signal Depletion Capacitance For small changes of the applied voltage about a specified DC voltage V D we can derive an equivalent linear capacitor approximation V D D = V D + d q J 0 D since q J vs. D relationship is non linear the capacitor is non linear q J v D slope d q J = Q J + q j Q J q J v D q J V D dq J v q j dq dv D V D V D D J slope v dv D V d D Common conventions: total quantities (applied) v D V D v d V d V D v d small quantities DC quantities

67 Small Signal Depletion Capacitance In the practice the depletion capacitance is usually provided per cross-section area: j0 j V D 0 j j V D dq J dv D s X dep, 0 V D s X dep 1 2 N A N D q s N A N 0 D s 0 X 1V D dep, 0 j0 1V D 0 NOTE: when the diode is forward biased with v D = 0 the equation for C j blows up (i.e., is equal to infinity). As v D approaches 0 the assumption that the depletion region is free of charged carriers is no longer true.
68 Graded Junctions All the equations derived for the depletion capacitance are based on the assumption that the doping concentration change abruptly at the junction. Although this is a good approximation for many integrated circuits is not always true. More in general: j j0 1V D 0 M j Mj is a constant called grading coefficient and its value ranges from 1/3 to depending on the way the concentration changes from the P to the N side of the junction
69 Large Signal Depletion Capacitance The equations for the depletion capacitance given before are valid only for small changes in the applied voltage It is extremely difficult and time consuming to accurately take this non linear capacitance into account when calculating the time to charge or discharge a junction over a large voltage change A commonly used approximation is to calculate the charge stored in the junction for the two extreme values of applied voltage, and then through the use of Q = CV, calculate the average capacitance accordingly jav V 2 V 1 V 2 V 1 The approximation is pessimistic
