A MOS capacitor has an n+ polysilicon gate with EF = EC+0.15 eV in the polysilicon, a 50 nm thick SiO2 gate dielectric with Qss = 0, and a p-type silicon substrate with Na = x.5×1016 /cm3, where x is the last digit of your student number. For silicon at room temperature ni = 1010 /cm3, Nv = 1.8×1019 /cm3, Nc = 3.2×1019 /cm3, and ϵSi = 11.7ϵ0. For SiO2 ϵSiO2 = 3.9ϵ0. a. Find the threshold voltage for this MOS capacitor. b. If the capacitor is made into a MOSFET with L = 2 μm, W = 200 μm, and a channel field effect mobility of 450 cm2/V⋅s, find ID for VGS − VT = 2 V and VDS = 1 V. c. Suppose it is desired to have a depletion mode MOSFET and that any gate oxide thickness is possible, but no other parameters can be changed.
