Assume there is a MOS capacitor. The metal used in the capacitor is TaN, the oxide material is SiO2, and the substrate is p-type Si. At 300 K, the doping concentration of the p-type substrate NA = 1.5×1017 cm−3. The fixed charge in the gate oxide QS is 1011 cm−2, the work function of TaN is 4.02 eV, and the electron affinity of Si and SiO2 are 4.01 eV and 9 eV, respectively. The MOS capacitor was measured by a semiconductor analyser. It was found the maximum capacitance is 5×10−8 F/cm2. Provided that, at 300 K, ni = 1.5×1010 cm−3, ε0/e = 5.52×105 F cm−1 C−1, please calculate: i. The gate oxide thickness tox and capacitance Cox. (10 pts) ii. The flatband voltage VFB. (5 pts) iii. The maximum depletion width Xd and the depletion charge density Qd. (20 pts) iv. The threshold voltage VT. (5 pts) v. If the gate metal TaN is replaced by a heavily n-type doped (n++)Si, what is the impact on the capacitance of the MOS device? Please discuss it qualitatively. (10 pts)

How would we need to change the substrate doping in order to keep VT the same? (A numerical answer is required.)
