7 Enhancement and Depletion MOS Devices n-channel p-channel Enhancement Depletion Depletion mode devices require only one additional mask step Older n-mos and p-mos processes usually had depletion device and enhancement device Depletion devices usually not available in CMOS because applications usually do not justify the small increasing costs in processing

8 S The JFET D With V S =0, channel exists under gate between D and S S D Under sufficiently large reverse bias (channel disappears - pinches off )

9 S The JFET D S D Under smaller reverse bias (channel thins)

10 S The JFET D S D Under small reverse bias and large negative V DS (channel pinches off)

12 The JFET D D S D S n-channel S p-channel n-channel JFET (not available in this process) Square-law model of n-channel JFET 0 VS VP 2IDSS VDS I V -V - V V V VS V < V -V VP 2 2 V S IDSS VS VP VDS > VS -VP VP D S P DS S P DS S P Functionally identical to the square-law model of MOSFET Parameters I DSS and V P characterize the device I DSS proportional to W/L where W and L are width and length of n+ diff V P is negative for n-channel device, positive for p-channel device thus JFET is depletion mode device Must not forward bias S junction by over about 300mV or excessive base current will flow (red constraint) Widely used as input stage for bipolar op amps

13 The Schottky Diode C A Metal-Semiconductor Junction One contact is ohmic, other is rectifying Not available in all processes Relatively inexpensive adder in some processes Lower cut-in voltage than pn junction diode High speed

14 The MESFET S D Metal-Semiconductor Junction for ate Drain and Source contacts ohmic, other is rectifying Usually not available in standard CMOS processes Must not forward bias very much Lower cut-in voltage than pn junction diode High speed

15 The Thyristor A bipolar device in CMOS Processes Consider a Bulk-CMOS Process S D S D p n p n Have formed a lateral pnpn device! Will spend some time studying pnpn devices

16 MOS and Bipolar Area Comparisions How does the area required to realize a MOSFET compare to that required to realize a BJT? Will consider a minimum-sized device in both processes

32 Consider a structure with a collector contact on both sides of epi Note: Not to vertical Scale Note: 26 required Between p-base and isolation diffusion

33 Note: Not to vertical Scale Note: 26 required Between p-base and isolation diffusion 50 55

34 Note: Not to vertical Scale 50 55

35 Note: Not to vertical Scale Bounding Area = Major contributor to large size of BJT is the isolation diffusion which diffuses laterally a large distance beyond the drawn edges of the isolation mask

36 Comparison with Area for n-channel MOSFET in Bulk CMOS Bounding Area =

40 Thyristors The good and the bad!

41 Thyristors The good SCRs Triacs The bad Parasitic Device that can destroy integrated circuits
