E-MOSFET Characteristic The transfer curve is not define by Shockley s equation anymore. t is defined by the equation: Where k is defined by: The term on means that the values where the device has reached its saturation level As for the example of the characteristic curve given in the previous slide, k k V VT for V VT V V ( on) ( on) the (on) values are V (on) =+8V where (on) =10mA or V (on) =+7V where (on) =7mA or V (on) =+6V where (on) 4.5mA or any other values that have reached saturation level T MOSFET 1-7
E-MOSFET Characteristic Usually, we take the highest saturation level shown in the graph (i.e., V (on) =+8V where (on) =10mA ) So, the value of k for the characteristic example given above is: k V V 8 ( on) ( on) T 10m Notice the unit of k is in ma/v because the numerator is current and the denominator is voltage So, the equation for this example will become: 0.78 ma/v V 0.78m MOSFET 1-8
