11 Current Flow at PN Junction Pà+ Nà- Most voltage drop will occur across the depletion region since the depletion region is the most highly resistive. Voltage bias in the direction of reducing the barrier height: FORWARD Voltage bias in the direction of raising the barrier height: REVERSE Notice that the Fermi energy is not continuous any more. Hole diffusion Hole drift Electron diffusion Electron drift 11

12 Forward bias of PN Junction Thermal equilibrium: BD and carrier flux Forward bias 12

13 Reverse bias of PN Junction Thermal equilibrium: BD and carrier flux Reverse bias Reverse bias the barriers becomes so large that no electrons in n side conduction band have enough energy to surmount it. Barrier height is increased to q( V Þ The number of electrons able to jump o + V a ). 13 over the barrier decreases by the factor of e -qv a / kt.

14 MOS Band Diagram i) Real MOS case p- ii) To simplify the case, we assume F m = F s à No difference in work function This is a Flat Band (FB) condition. Although it is not realistic, this assumption will simplify our approach.

15 MOS Band Diagram Under Bias Now if we apply a voltage, voltage drop occurs both across the oxide (linear drop) and near the surface of the Si (bending). p Hole

16 Threshold Voltage If a bias is applied MOS, the voltage drop occurs across oxide and the depletion region of Si. V = g V i + f We define the onset of a strong inversion as follows: S f ( inv) s f : Potential at the surface of f s F :(E = 2f i - F E f = V i 2 = kt q - Q C ln i s N n the Si ) in the neutral region i a Thus, threshold voltage required for strong inversion is V T Q = - C d i + 2f Onset of strong inversion, there are negligible inversion charge (Q s =Q d ) F

17 Realistic Threshold Voltage Work function difference So far, we assume that Ef of Si and metal are equal. But this is not true for the most cases. In addition to work function difference, MOS structure is affected by charges in insulator and interface. So we need to compensate this assumption. Interface charge V = f - FB ms Q C i i V T = f = f ms ms Q - C i i 1 - C i Q - C ( Q i d i + + 2f F 2qN e (2f )) + 2f A si F F (a) (b)
