10 Doping The intrinsic charge carrier concentrations is very low in silicon (semiconductor), leading to high resistivity, which could not be used in circuit. To increase charge carrier concentrations, doping with impurities is necessary. For semiconductor, there’re two ways to dope l if doped with impurity element P (phosphorus), with 5 outer shell electrons, the crystal will have excessive electrons, since only 4 electrons of each atom are used to form bonds. 1 phosphorus atom -> 1 free electron n-type l If doped with Al (aluminum, 3 outer shell electrons) -> spare sites for electrons, called holes 1 aluminum atom -> 1 free hole p-type
11
11 PN Junction PN junctions consist of two semiconductor regions of opposite type. Such junctions show a pronounced rectifying behavior. They are also called abrupt junction. The PN junctions are versatile elements. They can be used in the following area: l Rectifier, isolation structure and voltage-dependent capacitor. l Solar cells, photodiodes, light emitting diodes and even laser diodes. l Essential part of Metal-Oxide-Silicon Field-Effects- Transistors (MOSFETs) and Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs).

20 Diode Current – the ideal diode equation I S represents a constant value called the saturation current of the diode. I S is proportional to the area of the diode, and a function of the doping levels and widths of the neutral regions

30 Threshold Voltage Concept S D p substrate B G V GS + - n+ depletion region n channel The value of V GS where strong inversion occurs is called the threshold voltage, V T
31
31 The Threshold Voltage V T = V T0 + ( |-2 F + V SB | - |-2 F |) where V T0 is the threshold voltage at V SB = 0 and is mostly a function of the manufacturing process V SB is the source-bulk voltage F = - T ln(N A /n i ) is the Fermi potential ( T = kT/q = 26mV at 300K is the thermal voltage; N A is the acceptor ion concentration; n i 1.5x10 10 cm -3 at 300K is the intrinsic carrier concentration in pure silicon) is the body-effect coefficient
32
32 The Body Effect V SB (V) V T (V) l V SB is the substrate bias voltage (normally positive for n-channel devices with the body tied to ground) l A negative bias causes V T to increase from 0.45V to 0.85V

33 Transistor in Linear Mode S D B G n+ Assuming V GS > V T and V DS V GS – V T V GS V DS IDID x V(x) -+ The current is a linear function of both V GS and V DS
34
34 Voltage-Current Relation: Linear Mode For long-channel devices (L > 0.25 micron) When V DS V GS – V T I D = k’ n W/L [(V GS – V T )V DS – V DS 2 /2] where k’ n = n C ox = n ox /t ox = is the process transconductance parameter ( n is the carrier mobility (m 2 /Vsec)) k n = k’ n W/L is the gain factor of the device For small V DS, there is a linear dependence between V DS and I D, hence the name resistive or linear region
35
35 Transistor in Saturation Mode S D B G V GS and V DS > V GS - V T IDID V GS - V T -+ n+ Pinch-off Assuming V GS > V T V DS The current remains constant (saturates).
36
36 Voltage-Current Relation: Saturation Mode For long channel devices When V DS V GS – V T I D ’ = k’ n /2 W/L [(V GS – V T ) 2 ] since the voltage difference over the induced channel (from the pinch-off point to the source) remains fixed at V GS – V T However, the effective length of the conductive channel is modulated by the applied V DS, so I D = I D ’ (1 + V DS ) where is the channel-length modulation (varies with the inverse of the channel length)
37
37 Effects on Current For a fixed V DS and V GS (> V T ), I DS is a function of l the distance between the source and drain – L l the channel width – W l the threshold voltage – V T l the thickness of the SiO 2 – t ox l the dielectric of the gate insulator (SiO 2 ) – ox l the carrier mobility -for NMOS: n = 500 cm 2 /V-sec -for PMOS: p = 180 cm 2 /V-sec I D = k’ n W/L [(V GS – V T )V DS – V DS 2 /2]
