  • Role of Mosfets Transconductance Parameters and Threshold Voltage in CMOS Inverter Behavior in DC Mode

In addition to this, the paper also aims at exploring the directives that are to be followed during the design phase of the CMOS inverters that enable designers to design the CMOS inverters with the best possible performance, depending on operation conditions. The CMOS inverter designed with the best possible features also enables the designing of the CMOS logic circuits with the best possible performance, according to the operation conditions and designers’ requirements. Keywords: CMOS inverter; NMOS transistor; PMOS transistor; voltage transfer characteristic (VTC), threshold voltage; voltage critical value; noise margins; NMOS transconductance parameter; PMOS transconductance parameter 1. Introduction CMOS logic circuits represent the family of logic circuits which are the most popular technology for the implementation of digital circuits, or digital systems. The small dimensions, low power of dissipation and ease of fabrication enable extremely high levels of integration (or circuits packing densities) in digital systems [1-5].

  • Logic Styles with Mosfets
    Logic Styles with MOSFETs NMOS Logic One way of using MOSFET transistors to produce logic circuits uses only n-type (n-p-n) transistors, and this style is called NMOS logic (N for n-type transistors). An inverter circuit in NMOS is shown in the figure with n-p-n transistors replacing both the switch and the resistor of the inverter circuit examined earlier. The lower transistor in the circuit operates as a switch exactly as the idealised switch in the original circuit: with 5V on the Gate input, the conducting channel is created in the transistor and the “switch” is closed; with 0V on the Gate there is no channel and the transistor is non-conducting - the “switch” is open. The depletion mode transistor is produced by adding a small amount of donor material to the The upper transistor, called a depletion mode channel region of a n-p-n transistor, so that there are a small number of free electrons in the channel transistor, operates as a resistor to limit current even when there is no electric field across the flow when the “switch” is closed. This transistor is insulator. This provides a connection through the a modified n-p-n transistor that always has a transistor for all Gate voltages. The conductivity of channel present and is always conducting, although the channel is lowest (Resistance is highest) when the conductivity is low when there is 0V on the the Gate is at 0V. When the Gate is at 5V and more Gate and higher when 5V is on the Gate: see Box.

  • MOSFET - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    MOSFET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET MOSFET From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET), is by far the most common field-effect transistor in both digital and analog circuits. The MOSFET is composed of a channel of n-type or p-type semiconductor material (see article on semiconductor devices), and is accordingly called an NMOSFET or a PMOSFET (also commonly nMOSFET, pMOSFET, NMOS FET, PMOS FET, nMOS FET, pMOS FET). The 'metal' in the name (for transistors upto the 65 nanometer technology node) is an anachronism from early chips in which the gates were metal; They use polysilicon gates. IGFET is a related, more general term meaning insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and is almost synonymous with "MOSFET", though it can refer to FETs with a gate insulator that is not oxide. Some prefer to use "IGFET" when referring to devices with polysilicon gates, but most still call them MOSFETs. With the new generation of high-k technology that Intel and IBM have announced [1] (http://www.intel.com/technology/silicon/45nm_technology.htm) , metal gates in conjunction with the a high-k dielectric material replacing the silicon dioxide are making a comeback replacing the polysilicon. Usually the semiconductor of choice is silicon, but some chip manufacturers, most notably IBM, have begun to use a mixture of silicon and germanium (SiGe) in MOSFET channels. Unfortunately, many semiconductors with better electrical properties than silicon, such as gallium arsenide, do not form good gate oxides and thus are not suitable for MOSFETs.

In this chapter, the design of the inverter will be extended to address the synthesis of arbitrary digital gates such as NOR, NAND and XOR. The focus will be on combina- tional logic (or non-regenerative) circuits that have the property that at any point in time, the output of the circuit is related to its current input signals by some Boolean expression (assuming that the transients through the logic gates have settled). No intentional connec- tion between outputs and inputs is present. In another class of circuits, known as sequential or regenerative circuits —to be dis- cussed in a later chapter—, the output is not only a function of the current input data, but also of previous values of the input signals (Figure 6.1).

  • Super-Threshold Adiabatic Finfet SRAM with PAL-2N Logic
    Metallurgy and heat treatment of metals Super-Threshold Adiabatic FinFET SRAM with PAL-2N Logic Yuejie Zhang, Jianping Hu, Tianfang Ma, Beibei Qi Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China Corresponding author is Jianping Hu Abstract With IC process scaling, the leakage consumption has been an important factor in the power consumption of IC chips, which limits the scaling of SRAM. The FinFET device has the advantage in lower leakage current and higher on-state current than the CMOS devices. In this paper, a FinFET SRAM is verified by using adiabatic com- puting. All the circuits of the SRAM except for the storage array are realized by PAL-2N (pass-transistor adiabatic logic with NMOS pull-down configuration) circuits. The storage uses 8T cell that can improve the read margin and keep the write current against the synchronous read/write disturb. All circuits are simulated with HSPICE at a PTM (Predictive Technology Model) 32nm FinFET technology. The results indicated that the energy consumption of the adiabatic FinFET SRAM decreased 49% compared with the SRAM based on CMOS devices.

  • The Depletion Load.Doc 1/5
    11/19/2004 The Depletion Load.doc 1/5 The Depletion Load Say we connect the gate of a depletion NMOS to its source— we now have a two-terminal device! This device is called a depletion load. Since the depletion load is a two-terminal device, its behavior is defined by the i + relationship between the voltage v across the v device and the current i through it. − For example, a resistor is a two terminal device whose behavior (i.e., its The Depletion Load relationship between i and v) is defined by Ohm’s Law (ivR= ). Although the depletion load is decidedly not a resistor, its i -v relationship does have some similarities with Ohm’s Law. Q: So what is “Ohm’s Law” for a depletion load (i.e., what is ifv= ())? Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 11/19/2004 The Depletion Load.doc 2/5 A: A result easily found by implementing our knowledge of depletion MOSFETs! For a depletion load, we find that: iD + iiD = vGS = 0 vDS + vvDS = vGS vGS−VV t=− t − − Q: But since vGS = 0, isn’t the NMOS device in cutoff? A: Nope! Notice that this is a depletion MOSFET, and a depletion MOSFET will conduct when vGS = 0! Thus the MOSFET in a depletion load will always be either in: a) triode or b) saturation. a) Depletion load MOSFET is in triode if: vDS <vVGS− t vV<−0 t vV<−t Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 11/19/2004 The Depletion Load.doc 3/5 Therefore, the current will be: =−−⎡ 2 ⎤ iKDDSDS⎣2( vGS Vvv t ) ⎦ =−−⎡⎤2 iK⎣⎦20() Vvvt =−⎡⎤ −2 iK⎣⎦2 Vvvt b) Depletion load MOSFET is in saturation if: vDS >−vVGS t vV>−0 t vV>−t Therefore, the current will be: 2 vDS iKvVD =−+()GS t ro 2 v iK=−+()0 V t r o Channel-Length 2 v Modulation! iKV=−()t + ro 2 v iKV=+t ro where in this case: 111 ro ===222 λKv()GS− V t λKV()0 − t λVt Jim Stiles The Univ.

The load-to-driver resistance ratio was optimized in Vout Vout Vout D (V) 3 these logic gates by using a multi-finger gate design of E-mode α =1 out α GaN MOSHEMT to increase the logic swing voltage and noise V 2 =2 α α=4 margins, and reduce the transition periods. State-of-the-art Vin VA VA VB 1 α=10 NMOS inverter was achieved with logic swing voltage of 4.93 V V at a supply voltage of 5 V, low-input noise margin of 2.13 V and B 0 (a) (c) 012345 high-input noise margin of 2.2 V at room temperature. Excellent E-mode Vin (V) high temperature performance, at 300°C, was observed with a D-mode GND Vin Vout VDD logic swing of 4.85 V, low-input noise margin of 1.85 V and high- Vin NOT output noise margin of 2.2V.
