Non-saturation and Saturation region
The region for which vDS < vDS(sat) is
known as the non-saturation or triode
region.
The ideal current-voltage characteristics
in non-saturation region are described
by the equation:

In the saturation region, the ideal current–


voltage characteristics for vGS > VTN are
described by the equation

And oxide capacitance  OX =  0 r


Design of MOSFET

 OX =  0 r
Example 6.1
Calculate the current in an n-channel MOSFET. Consider an n-channel enhancement-mode
MOSFET with the following parameters: VTN = 0.4 V, W = 20 μm, L = 0.8 μm, μn = 650
cm2/V–s, tox = 200 Å, and εox = (3.9)(8.85 × 10−14) F/cm. Determine the current when the
transistor is biased in the saturation region for (a) vGS = 0.8 V and (b) vGS = 1.6 V.

Solution: Keep in mind that the units involved in the equations

The value of the conduction parameter is therefore


Now we can calculate the current in n-MOSFET, where both (a) and (b) cases
are above threshold, thus:

Understand that: The current capability of a transistor can be increased by increasing the
conduction parameter. For a given fabrication technology, Kn is adjusted by varying the
transistor width W.

Example 6.2
Objective: Determine the source-to-drain voltage required to bias a p-channel
enhancement-mode MOSFET in the saturation region. Consider an enhancement-mode
p-channel MOSFET for which Kp = 0.2 mA/V2, VTP = − 0.50 V, and iD = 0.50 mA.

Solution: In the saturation region, the drain current is given by

That is:

This yields:

To bias this p-channel MOSFET in the saturation region, the following must apply:

Biasing a transistor in either the saturation or the non-saturation region depends on both
the gate-to-source voltage and the drain-to-source voltage.
Depletion-Mode MOSFET
When zero volts are applied to the gate, an n-channel region or inversion layer exists
under the oxide. The term depletion mode means that a channel exists even at zero gate
voltage. A negative gate voltage must be applied to the n-channel depletion-mode
MOSFET to turn the device off.

Circuit Symbols and Conventions
The conventional circuit symbol for the n-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET is
shown in Figure. The vertical solid line denotes the gate electrode, the vertical broken
line denotes the channel (the broken line indicates the device is enhancement mode),
and the separation between the gate line and channel line denotes the oxide that
insulates the gate from the channel. The polarity of the pn junction between the
substrate and the channel is indicated by the arrowhead on the body or substrate
terminal. The direction of the arrowhead indicates the type of transistor, which in this
case is an n-channel device. This symbol shows the four-terminal structure of the
MOSFET device.
