ECE3040C Microelectronic Circuits Test 3 Wednesday, NOV. 23, 2011 Student Name: Solu msn What is the Early effect? What is its origin? (10 points). Collector current in a BJT does not remain constant for a fixed base current when the voltage of BC changes. This is called Early effect Its origin is that the width of the depletion region at the base-collector junction increases as the reverse voltage on the base-collector junction increases. This shortens the effective width of the base. Shorter base, means less opportunity for recombination and hence a larger beta, Which of the following statements are true and which are false (10 points)? A. The electric field inside the gate insulator in an ideal MOSFET is constant. Correct, B. The electric field inside the gate insulator in an ideal MOSFET is zero. False, It is constant but non zero. C. A pdoped Si substrate has a larger workfunction compared to an n- doped Si substrate, Correct, D. An N-FET has a p-type substrate and n’-type source and drain, Correct,3. An ideal MOS capacitor is made with an n-type semiconductor. Draw the band diagram when the device is in inversion (10 points). 4. Describe charge distribution in an MOS capacitor in accumulation, depletion, and inversion modes? (10 points) For N-substrate: om cs . ve = — a i)5.
