NMOSFET (or simply NMOS)
• N-channel MOSFET
– Current conducted by electrons
• 3 terminal device
– Source (S): n+ (heavily n-type)
– Drain (D): n+
– Gate (G): metal deposited on
insulator above channel
• Substrate (called “Body”) is a 4th
terminal
– Substrate is p-doped
• Electrons is induced in channel when
a positive gate voltage is applied
• Electrons moves from Source to Drain
– Current flows from D to S

Creating a “Channel” for Current Flow
MOS is a capacitor across an insulator (oxide)
When a positive voltage is applied at Gate,
electrons are induced under the gate.
At "thresold", sufficient number of electrons
form a "channel" between Source and Drain,
forming a conductive channel.
Total charge in the channel:
Q = Cox ⋅WL ⋅ ( vGS −Vt )
εox
where Cox = is oxide capacitance
tox
per unit area
εox = 3.9ε 0 = 3.9 × 8.854 ×10 −12 F/m
W : gate width
L : gate length
Vt : Threshold voltage
vGS −Vt ≡ vOV is called "Overdrive Voltage"

Current at Small vDS
When vOV = vGS −Vt > 0, a channel is formed
between Source and Drain.

Resistance value can be changed

Triode Region (vDS < vOV)
As vDS increases, the potential in the channel
is no longer a constant. Assume the channel
is v(x) :
iD = CoxW ( vGS − v(x) −Vt ) vn (x)
dv(x)
vn (x) = µ n E(x) = µ n
dx
Note: iD is still constant along the channel
(think Kirchhoff's Current Law)
