Modification of the Previous Model to Include the Effects of vDS on VT


From the previous derivation:
L vDS vDS
  
i dy = - W μoQI(y)dv = W μoCox[vGS-v(y)-VT]dv
 D  
0 0 0
Assume that the threshold voltage varies across the channel in the following way:
V T(y) = VT + kv(y)
where VT is the value of VT the at the source end of the channel and k is a constant.
Integrating the above gives,
W μoCox  v2(y)vDS
iD = L (vGS-V T)v(y)-(1+k) 2  0


or
W μoCox  v2DS
iD = L (vGS-V T)vDS-(1+k) 2 


To find vDS(sat), set the diD/dvDS equal to zero and solve for vDS = vDS(sat),
vGS-VT
vDS(sat) = 1+k
Therefore, in the saturation region, the drain current is
W μoCox
iD = 2(1+k)L (vGS - VT)2
For k = 0.5 and K’ = 44.8μA/V2, excellent correlation is achieved with SPICE 2

The electrons in the substrate at the drain side can be expressed as,

Circuit Model for Velocity Saturation


A simple circuit model to include the influence of velocity saturation is
is shown:
We know that
K’W
iD = 2L (vGS’ -VT)2 and vGS = vGS’ + iD RSX
or
vGS’ = vGS - iDRXS
Substituting vGS’ into the current relationship gives,
K’W
iD = 2L (vGS - iDRSX -V T)2
Solving for iD results in,
K’ W
iD =  W  L (vGS - V T)2

21+K’ L RSX(vGS-V T) 
Comparing with the previous result, we see that
W L 1
 = K’ L RSX  RSX = K’W = EcK’W
Therefore for K’ = 110μA/V2, W = 1μm and Ec = 1.5x106V/m, we get RSX = 6.06k.

SUMMARY
• The modeling of this lecture is devoted to understanding how the circuit works
• The two primary current-voltage characteristics of the MOSFET are the
transconductance characteristic and the output characteristic
• The simple Sah large signal model is good enough for most applications and technology
• The Sah model can be improved in the region of the knee and for the weak dependence
of drain current on drain-source voltage in the saturation region
• Most designers do not work at minimum channel length because of the channel length
modulation effect and because worse matching occurs for small areas
• The threshold voltage is increased as the bulk-source is reverse biased
• The subthreshold model accounts for very small currents that flow in the channel when
the gate-source voltage is smaller than the threshold voltage
• The subthreshold current is exponentially related to the gate-source voltage
• Velocity saturation occurs at minimum channel length and can be modeled by including
a source degeneration resistor with the simple large signal model
