Introduction to MOS Transistors Section 6.1-6.4 Selected Figures in Chapter 15
Outline • Review of NMOS • Introduction of PMOS • Application of CMOS in Digital Circuits • Small Signal Model
A Crude Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) Device V2 causes movement of negative charges, thus current. V1 can control the resistivity of the channel. Positive charge attract negative charges to the interface between insulator and silicon. A conductive path is created If the density of electrons is sufficiently high. Q=CV. P-Type Silicon is slightly conductive. The gate draws no current!
Typical Dimensions of MOSFETs These diode must be reversed biased. tox is made really thin to increase C, therefore, create a strong control of Q by V.
A Closer Look at the Channel Formulation Need to tie substrate to GND to avoid current through PN diode. VTH=300mV to 500 mV (OFF) (ON) Free electrons appear at VG=VTH. Positive charges repel the holes creating a depletion region, a region free of holes.
VG-VD is sufficiently large to produce a channel VG-VD is NOT sufficiently large to produce a channel No channel Electrons are swept by E to drain. Drain can no longer affect the drain current!

NMOS Inverter VGS=VCC, Switch is ON. VGS=0 V, Switch is OFF.
PMOS Inverter VSG=VCC, switch is off. VSG=0, switch is on.
Limited VDS Dependence In Saturation As VDS increase, effective L decreases, therefore, ID increases.
Similarity to Early Effect A larger reverse bias voltage leads to a larger BC depletion region. The effective base width (WB) is reduced. The slope of the electron profile increases. IC increases as VCE is increased.
Transconductance • As a voltage-controlled current source, a MOS transistor can be characterized by its transconductance: • It is important to know that
