1. A MOSFET operating in its linear region which can be used as voltage controlled resistor.
Determine the sensitivity of the resistance on the gate voltage (𝜕𝑅⁄𝜕𝑉 ) at 𝑉𝐺𝑆 = 5 𝑉.
𝐺𝑆
Consider, COX=7×10-4 F/m2, µn=1000 cm2/V-s, W/L=25 and VT= -2.5 V.
2. An n-Channel MOSFET with n+ polysilicon gate has oxide thickness of 10 nm and uniform
substrate doping of 5×1016 cm-3. Interface fixed charge of 5×1010 cm-2. Find the threshold
voltage when body is biased at 0 V and -5 V. (εox=3.9, εs=11.8, ni=1.5×1010 cm-3, Eg=1.12 eV,
ε0=8.85×10-12 F/m).
3. Consider an n-channel MOSFET with uniform channel doping with NA = 3×1017cm-3 and having
an oxide 10 nm thick. Calculate the sub-threshold slope at 300 K.
Assume now that the Si-SiO2 interface is not ideal, but there are interface traps with density Nit
= 1012cm-2/V. What is the sub-threshold slope in this case?
