At room temperature, a possible value for the mobility of electrons in the inversion
layer of a silicon n -channel MOSFET is
(B) 1350 cm2 / V-s
(A) 450 cm2 / V-s
(C) 1800 cm2 / V-s
SOL 1.6
At room temperature mobility of electrons for Si sample is given n = 1350 cm2 /Vs.
For an n -channel MOSFET to create an inversion layer of electrons, a large positive
gate voltage is to be applied. Therefore, induced electric field increases and mobility
decreases.
So, Mobility n < 1350 cm2 /Vs for n -channel MOSFET
Hence (A) is correct option.
