Implanted VT
Vt per Eq. 9.1.23 in M&K for a MOSFET with an 87-nm-thick gate oxide, Qff/q = 1011 cm-2, N’ = 3.5 X 1011 cm-2, and Na = 2 X 1015 cm-3. Both VS and VB = Figure 9.8 (p. 441)

Subthreshold conduction• Below O.S.I., when the total band-
bending < 2|p|, the weakly inverted channel conducts by diffusion like a BJT.
• Since VGS>VDS, and below OSI, then Na>nS
>nD, and electr diffuse S --> D

M&K Fig.9.10 (p.443)
Band diagram along the channel region of an n-channel MOSFET under bias, indicating that the barrier qΦB at the source depends on the gate voltage.

M&K Fig. 9.11 (p.444)
Measured subthreshold characteristics of an MOS transistor with a 1.2 μm channel length. The inverse slope of the straight-line portion of this semilogarithmic plot is called the drain-current subthreshold slope S (measured in mV/decade of drain current).

Application of JFET theory to MESFET• The channel material is often GaAs• The substrate is often semi-insulating
gallium arsenide (SI GaAs)
• Vbi is replaced by Vnbi, the band-bending
in the semiconductor– Often limited by surface state pinning and
not determined exactly by s
• Neff is now exactly Nch
