Figure 2 -120 nm footprint T-gate with self-aligned source and drain contacts. http://www.three-fives.com/latest_features/webzine_features/iainthainestory.html Figure 4 – showing the lateral etching control offered by “digital” recess etching. In both micrographs, the depth of the recess is 30 nm. The micrograph on the left shows a “wide” gate recess with large lateral extent whilst the micrograph on the right shows a recess tightly defined around the gate footprint.

It is done. Now, how does it work?

JFET and MOSFET Transistorsor JFET – Junction Field Effect Transistor MOSFET - Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor n-channel MOSFET & p-channel MOSFET L=0.1-10 m W=0.5-500 m SiO 2 Thickness=0.05-0.1 m Device characteristics depend on L,W, Thickness, doping levels Symbol

n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation Operation in the Cutoff region Schematic pn junction: forward bias, reverse bias i D =0 for v GS < V t0 When v GS =0 then i D =0 until v GS > V t0 (V t0 –threshold voltage)
13
n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation Operation in the Triode Region For vi DS V t0 the NMOS is operating in the triode region Resistor like characteristic (R between S & D, Used as voltage controlled R) For small v DS, i D is proportional to the excess voltage v GS -V t0
14
n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation Operation in the Saturation Region (v DS is increased) Tapering of the channel i D is smaller when v DS is larger Device parameter KP for NMOSFET is 50 A/V 2 When v GD =V t0 then the channel thickness is 0 and
15
n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation Characteristic Example 12.1 Channel length modulation i d depends on v DS in saturation region (approx: i D =const in saturation region)
16
p-channel MOSFET Basic Operation It is constructed by interchanging the n and p regions of n-channel MOSFET. Symbol Characteristic How does operate p-channel MOSFET? -voltage polarities -i D current -schematic
17
Load-Line Analysis of NMOS Amplifier It is a graphical analysis similar to load-line analysis of pn diode. Schematic Analysis… Input loop Output loop Load line v GS v DS We look for operating point
18
Load-Line Analysis of NMOS Amplifier Load line Taking i D =0 or v DS =0 we find out the quiescent operating point Q The quiescent values v in (t)=0 then i DQ =9 mA and v DSQ =11V Points A & B intersection of curve and the load-line
19
Input signal Load-Line Analysis of NMOS Amplifier (peak-to-peak amplitude is 2V) 12V Inverse operation The positive peak of the input occurs at the same time as the min. value of v DS. These are not symmetrical sinusoids! (nonlinear distortion)
20
Bias Circuits Analysis of amplifier circuits is often undertaken in two steps: (1) The dc circuit analysis to determine the Q point. It involves the nonlinear equation or the load-line method. This is called bias analysis (2) Use a linear small-signal equivalent circuit to determine circuit parameters The fixed-plus self-bias circuit InputOutput Equivalent circuit Analysis… Assume the V RG =0 v GS For saturation region v DS
21
Bias Circuits Plot ofand Disregarded root for v GS < V t0 Use only larger root for v GS and smaller for i D Example 12.2
