BASICS OF MOS
MOS SURFACES
Generally, semiconductors belong to that category of materials which exhibit conductivity at some particular conditions. MOS Surfaces are the semiconductor surfaces which can be either of the p – type or n – type depending upon the type of doping.
MOS STRUCTURES
MOS structures employ MOS Diode as its basic element. The MOS diode can be thought of as Capacitance under certain conditions which is called as MOS Capacitor. These can be categorised into two categories : Ideal and Real depending upon the conditions we assume.
MOS Capacitor – Ideal
Introduction
Basic bias conditions of MOS capacitor:
Source: Above page, Drain: Below page, Gate: Metal Gate
Fermi levels are different in M and S.Fermi levels are constant within M and within S
Majority-carrier concentration p(x) increases near surface => Accumulation
Surface potential = ϕs
where
Beyond the onset of strong inversion, electrons are induced into the electron channel.The depletion layer thickness does not increase further, i.e. WD = WD, max.
Illustration of band diagram, charge, field, and potential of ideal MOS capacitor:
We use the Depletion Approximation for the acceptor charge in the semiconductor
Threshold voltage of Ideal MOS Capacitor:
Thus the threshold voltage is the sum of a voltage drop in the oxide and in the semiconductor at the onset of strong inversion. Eqn. (26) applies to the ideal MOS structure.
Capacitance of Ideal MOS Capacitor:
CV Curve for Ideal MOS Capacitor:
MOS capacitor – Real
We calculated the threshold voltage of the ideal MOS capacitor. It was given by:
CV curve for Real MOS Capacitor: The various CV Plots for MOS capacitor using different materials is shown below.
