MOSFET Current Voltage Characteristics Consider the cross-sectional view of an n-channel MOSFET operating in linear mode (picture below) We assume the threshold voltage is constant along the channel. The channel voltage V c has boundary conditions: V c at x=0 =V S =0 and V c at x=L =V DS The channel is inverted from the source end to the drain end. Other voltages of interest are: V GS ≥V T0 and V GD =V GS -V DS ≥V T0 n+n+ n+n+ Channel Depletion Region + - V DS V GS > V T0 V S =0 V B =0 p-type substrate x y x=0x=L DrainSource

MOSFET Voltage Characteristics The channel current (drain current I D ) is caused by electrons in the channel region traveling from source to drain under the influence of the lateral electric field. If the total mobile electron charge in the surface inversion layer is assigned the vaiable Q I(x), we can thus express this charge as a function of the gate- to-source voltage V GS and the channel voltage V c(x) Q I(x) =-C ox [V GS -V c(x) -V T0 ] The thickness of the inversion layer tapers along the channel from the source towards the drain because the influence of V gate-tochannel decreases from source to drain. If we consider a small incremental resistance dR for a differential segment of the channel assuming constant electron mobility  n at the surface we have:

MOSFET Voltage Current Characteristic The variable W represents the channel width. The electron surface mobility  n depends on the doping concentration of the channel region. We further assume that the channel current density is uniform across the segment where we are measuring the incremental resistance. I D flows between the source and drain. Applying Ohm’s law for this segment yields the voltage drop along the incremental segment dx: The above equation can now be integrated along the channel from x=0 to x=L using the boundary conditions for V c We get:

MOSFET Voltage Current Characteristics Assuming that the channel voltage V c is the only variable that depends on position x, the drain current is determined to be: This equation shows the dependence of the drain current on the process parameters such as oxide capacitance, carrier mobility, and bulk to source voltage. The drain current I D also depends on the device’s channel length and width.

MOSFET Voltage Current Characteristics The equations: represent a simple view of the MOS transistor DC Voltage current equations. There are models that better calculate the MOS transistor’s operation with accuracy.
