2. Why New Transistor Structures? Off-state leakage (I OFF ) must be suppressed as L g is scaled down – allows for reductions in V T and hence V DD Leakage occurs in the region away from the channel surface  Let’s get rid of it! Drain Source Gate L g Thin-Body MOSFET: Buried Oxide Source Drain Gate Substrate “Silicon-on- Insulator” (SOI) Wafer 2

3. Thin-Body MOSFETs I OFF is suppressed by using an adequately thin body region. – Body doping can be eliminated  higher drive current due to higher carrier mobility Ultra-Thin Body (UTB) Buried Oxide Substrate Source Drain Gate T Si L g T Si < (1/4)  L g Double-Gate (DG) Gate Source Drain Gate T Si T Si < (2/3)  L g 3

5. Electrostatics: Under normal operating conditions, the BJT may be viewed electrostatically as two independent pn junctions BJT Types and Definitions The BJT is a 3-terminal device, with two types: PNP and NPN V EB = V E – V B V CB = V C – V B V EC = V E – V C = V EB - V CB V BE = V B – V E V BC = V B – V C V CE = V C – V E = V CB - V EB EE130/230A Fall 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 5 R.
