5 MOS Transistor Operation As V G increases from zero Holes in the p substrate are repelled from the gate area leaving negative ions behind A depletion region is created No current flows since no carriers are available As V G increases The width of the depletion region and the potential at the oxide-silicon interface also increase When the interface potential reaches a sufficiently positive value, electrons flow in the channel. The transistor is turned on As V G rises further The charge in the depletion region remains relatively constant The channel current continues to increase 5

10 MOS Threshold Voltage The value of V G for which the channel is inverted is called the threshold voltage V T (or V t ). Characteristics of the threshold voltage Depends on equilibrium potential Controlled by inversion in channel Adjusted by implantation of dopants into the channel Can be positive or negative Influenced by the body effect 10

11 MOS Active Region Saturation Channel is pinched off Increase in V DS has little effect on i D Square-law behavior wrt (V GS -V T ) Acts like a current source 11

12 Body Effect The body effect V T varies with bias between source and body Leads to modulation of V T Potential on substrate affects threshold voltage V ( ) T VSB VTo 2F VSB 2F 1/2 1/2 F kt N a ln q ni Fermi potential of material 2qN 1/2 a C ox s Body bias coefficient 12

13 Channel-Length Modulation With depletion layer widening, the channel length is in effect reduced from L to L-L Channel-length modulation This leads to the following I-V relationship 1 i k W v V v 2 L ' 2 D n GS T 1 DS Where is a process technology parameter 13

14 Channel-Length Modulation Channel-length modulation causes i D to increase with v DS in saturation region 14

15 Gate Capacitance V 0 V 0, V small GT GT DS Capacitance Depends on bias Fringing fields are present Account for overlap C V GT 0, V large DS 15

16 Capacitance Gate Capacitance C G determines the amount of charge to switch gate Several distributed components Large discontinuity as device turns on At saturation capacitance is entirely between gate and source Define VDS X V V GS T 2 1 X Cgs Cgso WLCox X 2 1 Cgd Cgdo WLCox X

18 PMOS Transistor 0 PMOS VGS= VGS=-1.0 VGS=-1.5 VGS=-2.0 VGS= All polarities are reversed from nmos - v GS, v DS and V t are negative - Current i D enters source and leaves through drain - Hole mobility is lower low transconductance - nmos favored over pmos Vds 18

19 Complementary MOS CMOS Characteristics Combine nmos and pmos transistors pmos size is larger for electrical symmetry 19

20 CMOS Advantages Virtually, no DC power consumed No DC path between power and ground Excellent noise margins (V OL =0, V OH =V DD ) Inverter has sharp transfer curve Drawbacks Requires more transistors Process is more complicated pmos size larger to achieve electrical symmetry Latch up 20

21 Voltage Transfer Characteristics (VTC) The static operation of a logic circuit is determined by its VTC In low state: noise margin is NM L NM V V L IL OL In high state: noise margin is NM H NM V V H OH IH An ideal VTC will maximize noise margins NM L NM H V IL and V IH are the points where the slope of the VTC=-1 Optimum: NM NM V L H DD /2 21
