A Crude Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) Device
P-Type Silicon is slightly conductive.
Positive charge attractnegative chargesto interface between insulator and silicon.
A conductive path is createdIf the density of electrons is sufficiently high.Q=CV.
V2 causes movement of negative charges,thus current.
V1 can control the resistivity of the channel.The gate
draws no current!

An Improved MOS Transistor

(provide electrons) (drain electrons)

Typical Dimensions of MOSFETs
These diode mustbe reversed biased.tox is made really thin
to increase C, therefore, create a strong control of Q by V.

A Closer Look at the Channel Formulation
Need to tie substrate to GNDto avoid current through PN diode.
Positive charges repel the holescreating a depletion region, a region free of holes.
Free electrons appear at VG=VTH.
VTH=300mV to 500 mV(OFF) (ON)

MOSFET as a Variable Resistor
As VG increases, the density of electrons increases, the value ofchannel resistance changes with gate voltage.
You can build anattenuator circuit. (i.e. a voltage divider)

Change Drain Voltage
Resistance determined by VG.
![Page 9: Qualitative Discussion of MOS Transistors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813bca550346895da4f570/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Change Gate Voltage
Higher VG leads to a lower channel resistance, therefore larger slope.
![Page 10: Qualitative Discussion of MOS Transistors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813bca550346895da4f570/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Length Dependence
The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the length.
![Page 11: Qualitative Discussion of MOS Transistors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813bca550346895da4f570/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dependence on Oxide Thickness
Q=CVC is inversely proportional to 1/tox.
Lower Q implies higher channel resitsance.
![Page 12: Qualitative Discussion of MOS Transistors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813bca550346895da4f570/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Width Dependence
The resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the crosssection area.
A larger device also has a larger capacitance!

Channel Pinch Off• Q=CV– V=VG-VOXIDE-Silicon
• VOXIDE-Silicon can change along the channel! Low VOXIDE-Silicon implies less Q.

VG-VD is sufficiently largeto produce a channel
VG-VD is NOT sufficiently largeto produce a channel
No channel
Electronsare sweptby E to drain.
Drain can no longer affect the drain current!

No channel
(No Dependence on VDS)

Determination of Region
• How do you know whether a transistor is in the linear region or saturation region?– If VDS>(VGS-VTH) and VGS>VTH, then
the device is in the saturation region.– If VDS<(VGS-VTH) and VGS>VTH, then
the device is in the linear region.

Limited VDS Dependence During Saturation
As VDS increase, effective L decreases, therefore, ID increases.

Transconductance
• As a voltage-controlled current source, a MOS transistor can be characterized by its transconductance:
• It is important to know that
