The MOSFET Threshold Voltage When the gate voltage reaches a value called the threshold voltage (VT), the substrate beneath the gate becomes inverted (it changes from p-type to n-type).

Example 2 - Small-Signal Load Resistance Find the small signal resistance of the MOS diode shown using the parameters of Table 3.2-1. Assume that the W/L ratio is 10m/1m. Solution If we are going to include the bulk effect, we must first find the dc value of the bulk-source voltage. Unfortunately, we do not know the threshold voltage because the bulk-source voltage is unknown. The best approach is to ignore the bulk-source voltage, find the gate-source voltage and then iterate if necessary. VGS =
VDD = 5V

Fig. 4.2-5
2I 2100 + V = + 0.7 = 1.126V T 0 11010 Thus let us guess at a gate-source voltage of 1.3V (to account for the bulk effect) and calculate the resulting gate-source voltage. V T = V T 0 + 2| F | - (-3.7) - 2|F| = 0.7 + 0.4 0.7+3.7 - 0.4 0.7 = 1.20V VGS = 1.63V Now refine our guess at VGS as 1.6V and repeat the above to get VT = 1.175V which gives VGS = 1.60V. Therefore, V BS = -3.4V.

SHORT-CHANNEL MOSFET MODEL Velocity Saturation The most important short-channel effect in MOSFETs is the velocity saturation of carriers in the channel. A plot of electron drift velocity versus electric field is shown below.
Electron Drift Velocity (m/s) 105 5x104 2x104 104 5x103 105 106 Electric Field (V/m) 107
Fig1.8-11
An expression for the electron drift velocity as a function of the electric field is, nE v d 1 + E/E c where vd = electron drift velocity (m/s) n = low-field mobility ( 0.07m2/Vs) Ec = critical electrical field at which velocity saturation occurs
Page 31
Short-Channel Model Derivation As before, iD WQ I(y) nE JD = JS = W = Q I(y)vd(y) iD = W QI(y)vd(y) = 1 + E/E c Replacing E by dv/dy gives, 1 d v dv iD 1 + E dy= WQ I(y)n dy C Integrating along the channel gives,
L vD S 1 d v iD 1 + dy = WQ I(y) ndv Ec dy 0 0
E iD 1 + E = WQ I(y)nE C
The result of this integration is, nCox W K W 2] = [2( v V ) v v [2(vGS - V T )vDS - vDS 2] iD = GS T DS DS L 2[1 + ( v V )] L v GS T 1 D S 2 1 + E L c where = 1/LEc with dimensions of V-1. The saturation voltage has not changed so substituting for vDS by vGS-VT gives, K W iD = 2[1 + ( v - V )] L [ vGS - V T ]2 GS T Note that the transistor will enter the saturation region for vDS < vGS - VT in the presence of velocity saturation.

The Influence of Velocity Saturation on the Transconductance Characteristics The following plot was made for K = 110A/V2 and W/L = 1:
1000 800 iD/W (A/m) 600 = 0.6 400 200 0 0.5 = 1.0 = 0.8 =0 = 0.2 = 0.4

Note as the velocity saturation effect becomes stronger, that the drain current-gate voltage relationship becomes linear.
Page 33
Circuit Model for Velocity Saturation A simple circuit model to include the influence of velocity saturation is the following:
G + vGS
D iD + vGS' RSX - S
We know that KW iD = 2 L (v GS -V T )2 and v GS = v GS + iD RSX Substituting vGS into the current relationship gives, KW iD = 2 L (v GS - iD R SX -V T )2 Solving for iD results in, iD = K W 21 + K L R SX ( v GS - V T ) W (v GS - V T )2 L
Fig1.8-13
or
v GS = v GS - iD R XS
Comparing with the previous result, we see that W 1 L = K L R SX R SX = = E KW KW c Therefore for K = 110A/V2, W = 1m and Ec = 1.5x106V/m, we get RXS = 6.06k .
