EX 1:
IDS = f(VDS) , VGS = 1 V, VDS = 0 V -> 1.2 V
IDS = f(VGS), VDS = 1 V, VGS = 0 V -> 1.2 V
Take the square root of the drain current ( sqrt (ID) ) and plot it against VGS. In the
linear region, this plot will be approximately linear.
Perform a linear fit to the straight portion of the sqrt (ID) vs. VGS curve.
Extrapolate the fitted line to the x-axis intercept, where sqrt (ID) = 0. The VGS value at
this intercept is the threshold voltage (Vth).
The extrapolated value of VGS at which sqrt (ID)=0 is the threshold voltage of the NMOS
transistor.
EX 2:
L = 60nm, W = 120nm, VSB = 0 V, VDS = 0V -> 1.2 V, VGS = (0.4 V, 0.6 V, 0.8
V, 1 V )
EX 3:
L = 60nm, W = 120nm, VSB = 0 V, VDS = 1.2 V, VGS = 0V -> 1 V, VSB =
(0.15V, 0.3V, 0.45V)
- When the body is at a higher potential than the source (for NMOS), the
threshold voltage increases. This is because the increased body potential
induces a larger depletion region, requiring a greater Vgs to invert the channel.
VSB increases -> VTH increases -> IDS decreases
