24
Saturation Region occurs at large VDS
As the drain voltage increases, the difference in voltage between the drain and the gate becomes smaller. At some point, the difference is too small to maintain the channel near the drain pinch-off p n+ metal source S gate G drain D body B oxide + - +++ VDS large
25
Saturation Region occurs at large VDS
The saturation region is when the MOSFET experiences pinch-off. Pinch-off occurs when VG - VD is less than VT. p n+ metal source S gate G drain D body B oxide + - +++ VDS large

Saturation Region occurs at large VDS

Simplified MOSFET I-V Equations
Cut-off: VGS< VT ID = IS = 0 Triode: VGS>VT and VDS < VGS-VT ID = kn’(W/L)[(VGS-VT)VDS - 1/2VDS2] Saturation: VGS>VT and VDS > VGS-VT ID = 1/2kn’(W/L)(VGS-VT)2 where kn’= (electron mobility)x(gate capacitance) = mn(eox/tox) …electron velocity = mnE and VT depends on the doping concentration and gate material used (…more details later)

Channel Charge (Qch) VGS>VT Depletion region charge (QB) is due to uncovered acceptor ions Qch

Threshold Voltage Definition
VGS = VT when the carrier concentration in the channel is equal to the carrier concentration in the bulk silicon. Mathematically, this occurs when fs=2ff , where fs is called the surface potential
