Physical structure of BJT BJT, which is the short form of Bipolar Junction Transistor, is a three-terminal electronic device, constructed of doped semiconductor material (Bipolar: P and N or holes and electrons). The three terminals are emitter (E), base (B) and collector (C). Note the pins assignment of commercialized products should be assured according to their datasheets. For instance, the pins assignment component used in this lab is shown in Fig The doping of each terminal is different, which is in order to make the BJT works. Such as, the emitter is heavily doped, while the 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-1 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

2 collector is lightly doped, allowing a large reverse bias voltage to be applied before the collector base junction breaks down. NPN PNP Fig. 5.1 Physical structure of BJT and pins assignment of 9013 Another switch component, MOSFET, is operated in lots of similar forms with BJT, such as the current-voltage relationship, amplifier configurations, etc. Table 5.1 Comparison of BJT and MOSFET BJT MOSFET Current controlled current source Voltage controlled current source Minority-carrier device Majority-carrier device 2. Characteristics of BJT The I-V curve of BJT is shown as below, where the y-axis is I c (collector current) and the x-axis is V ce (collector-emitter voltage). For MOSFET, the y-axis will be drain current and the x-axis will be gate-source voltage. It is helpful to make connections between BJT and MOS. Another I b -to-v be curve is shown next for further illustration. 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-2 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

Cut-off (switch-off) and saturation (switch-on) regions are used for switch, active region is used for amplifier, while reverse active region is rarely used and will not be introduced in this lab. The status of EBJ and CBJ under different modes is tabulated as below and the three configurations are discussed next to it. Table 5.2 The status of EBJ and CBJ under different modes Mode EBJ CBJ Cutoff Reverse Reverse Active Forward Reverse Saturation Forward Forward 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-3 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

4 (1) Cut-Off Region Refer to Fig. 5.2(b), when V BE is smaller than 0.6V or 0.7V, the BJT is nearly closed. In this region, no matter how large the V CE is, I B is nearly zero and so as I C. (Remember that BJT is a current-controlled current source.) (2) Active Region To operate BJT in this region, V BE should be larger than 0.7V (refer to the Fig. 5.2(b)) and V CE should be larger than 0.2V (refer to the Fig. 5.2(a)). Here in this region, I C and I B are in a nearly constant ratio, and this ratio is defined as the current gain β= I C /I B. Different BJTs have different values of β, and it is better to refer to the datasheet before using BJTs. (3) Saturation Region When V BE is fixed at or a little higher than 0.7V and V CE is lower than 0.2V, the BJT will be operated in the saturation region. From the Fig. 5.2(a), it could be observed that when V CE changes a little, I C would vary rapidly. Note that there is no linear relationship between I C and I B. 3. Fundamentals of MOSFET The metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is commonly used for amplifying or switching the electronic signals. In MOSFETs, a voltage applying on the oxide-insulated gate electrode will induce a conducting channel between source and drain. Depending on the major carriers, the channel can be n-type or p-type, and they are called NMOS or PMOS respectively. (1) Physical structure of MOSFET As shown in Fig. 5.3, MOSFETs can be classified into two types, enhancement- and depletion-type. Enhancement MOSFET is the most widely used FET. So, in this lab we will focus on enhancement MOSFET and review its physical structure and operation. However, the depletion-type MOSFET will be briefly discussed as well. 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-4 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

5 Fig. 5.3 Physical structure of two types of MOSFET Fig. 5.4 Physical structure of n-channel enhancement-type MOSFET The transistor is fabricated on a p-type substrate, which is a single-crystal silicon wafer that provides the base for the whole device or IC. Two heavily doped n-type regions, n + source and the n + drain indicated in Fig. 5.3, are formed in the substrate. A thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) with thickness t ox, which is an excellent electrical insulator, is grown on the surface of the substrate covering the area of the source and drain regions. Then, metal is deposited on the top of the oxide layer to form the gate electrode of the device. Metal contacts are also made to the source region, the drain region, and the substrate (body). Thus, there are four terminals for a MOSFET: the gate terminal (G), the source terminal (S), the drain 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-5 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

6 terminal (D), and the substrate or body terminal (B). Observing the substrate, it could be found that it forms p-n junctions with the source and drain region. These two p-n junctions can be effectively cut-off by simply connecting the substrate terminal to the source terminal. In normal operations, these p-n junctions are kept reverse-biased. On the other hand, once the channel between source and drain terminals is built up by applying external voltage, carriers can flow through that channel and cause drain current. The details about how MOSFET operates in different bias conditions will be discussed in the next section. The other type of MOSFET, which is called depletion-type, has similar structure as enhancement-type MOSFET. The vital difference between them is that the depletion MOSFET has physically implanted channel. Thus, if a voltage V DS is applied between drain and source, a current I D flows at V GS =0. In other words, depletion-type MOSFET conducts without applying external gate voltage. (2) Operation mode Depending on the bias voltages at the terminals, the operations of a MOSFET can be classified into three modes. In the following discussion, a simplified algebraic model that is only accurate for dated technology has been used. Modern MOSFET requires computer to simulate its more complex behavior, e.g. short channel effect. In this Lab., the enhancement-type NMOS will be used as an example to illustrate the three modes including cut-off, linear, and saturation region. Fig. 5.5 The I D -V DS curve of enhanced-type NMOS 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-6 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

7 Cut-off region: With no bias voltage applied to the gate, two back-to-back diodes exist in series between drain and source. One diode is formed by the p-n junction between the n + drain and the p-substrate, and the other is formed by the n + source region and p-substrate. These two back-to-back diodes prevent current conduction from drain to source when a voltage V DS is applied. In other words, there is no channel between drain and source or the path between drain and source is highly resistive. In Figure 5.6, we ground the drain and source terminal, and apply a positive voltage to the gate. Since the source is grounded, the gate voltage could be denoted as V GS. The positive voltage induces an n-channel between two n + regions and the channel would provide a path for current to flow. But, there will be no sufficient number of mobile electrons accumulated in the channel until V GS > V t (threshold voltage). Fig. 5.6 An NMOS with positive voltage applied to the gate V GS <V t Linear region: With the induced channel, we first apply a small positive voltage V DS (i.e. around 50 mv) between drain and source as shown in Fig This voltage V DS causes a current I D to flow through n-channel. As indicated in Fig. 5.7, the magnitude of I D depends on the density of electrons in the channel, which in turn depends on the magnitude of V GS. In fact, the conductance of the channel is proportional to the excess gate voltage (V GS -V t ), also known as the effective voltage or the overdrive voltage. 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-7 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

8 Fig. 5.7 NMOS with V GS >V t and a small V DS applied Fig. 5.8 shows a sketch of I D versus V DS for various values of V GS and it illustrates that the MOSFET is operating as a linear resistance whose value is controlled by V GS. Ideally, the resistance is infinite for V GS V t, and it decreases as V GS > V t. Fig. 5.8 The I D -V DS characteristics of the MOSFET in Fig. 5.7 The description above indicates that a channel has to be induced for the MOSFET to conduct. Increasing V GS above the threshold voltage V t enhances the channel, and hence it is named as enhancement-type MOSFET. Saturation region: For observing this region, let V GS be held constant at a value greater than V t and increase V DS. Refer to Fig. 5.9, it is noted that V DS appears non-uniformly along the channel. Since every segment of the channel depth depends on its suffered voltage, it could be found that the channel is no longer of uniform depth. Rather, the channel will be tapered as shown in Fig. 5.9, the deepest depth appears at the source end and the shallowest at the drain end. As V DS is further increased, the channel is more 電子學實驗 ( 一 ) Electronics Laboratory (1), 2013 p. 5-8 成大電機 EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan

9 tapered and its resistance increases correspondingly. As the result, the I D -V DS curve is no longer a straight line but bends as shown in Fig Fig. 5.9 Induced channel is tapered as V DS is increased, When V DS is increased to the value of V DS(sat) = V GS -V t, it reduces the voltage between gate and channel at the drain end to V t, or the channel depth of the drain end decreases to almost zero, it is said to be pinched off. Increasing V DS beyond V GS -V t, the current through the channel remains constant or said it have been entered into the saturation region.
