Bias-Temperature Stress Measurement
Used to determine mobile charge density in MOS dielectric (units: C/cm2)
Na+ located at
lower SiO2 interface
 reduces VFB
VFB
Na+ located at
upper SiO2 interface
 no effect on VFB
Positive oxide charge shifts the flatband voltage in the negative direction:

Clarification: Effect of Interface Traps
(c)
(b)
(a)
“Donor-like” traps are
charge-neutral when
filled, positively charged
when empty
(a)
Positive oxide charge
causes C-V curve to
shift toward left
(more shift as VG
decreases)
(b)
Traps cause “sloppy” C-V and also
greatly degrade mobility in channel

Invention of the Field-Effect Transistor
In 1935, a British patent was issued to Oskar Heil.
A working MOSFET was not demonstrated until 1955.

Modern Field Effect Transistor (FET)
• An electric field is applied normal to the surface of the
semiconductor (by applying a voltage to an overlying
electrode), to modulate the conductance of the
semiconductor
 Modulate drift current flowing between 2 contacts
(“source” and “drain”) by varying the voltage on the
“gate” electrode

• Current flowing between the SOURCE and DRAIN is
controlled by the voltage on the GATE electrode

• For current to flow, VGS > VT
• For current to flow, VGS < VT
• Enhancement mode: VT > 0
• Enhancement mode: VT < 0
• Depletion mode: VT < 0
• Depletion mode: VT > 0
– Transistor is ON when VG=0V

– Transistor is ON when VG=0V
EE130 Lecture 35, Slide 7
Enhancement Mode vs. Depletion Mode
Enhancement Mode
Conduction between source
and drain regions is enhanced
by applying a gate voltage
Spring 2007
Depletion Mode
A gate voltage must be applied
to deplete the channel region
in order to turn off the transistor

• When VG = VDD , the NMOSFET is on and the PMOSFET is off.
• When VG = 0, the PMOSFET is on and the NMOSFET is off.

“Pull-Down” and “Pull-Up” Devices
•
In CMOS logic gates, NMOSFETs are used to connect the output to
GND, whereas PMOSFETs are used to connect the output to VDD.
– An NMOSFET functions as a pull-down device when it is turned
on (gate voltage = VDD)
– A PMOSFET functions as a pull-up device when it is turned on
(gate voltage = GND)
