This chapter builds a deep understanding of the modern MOS (metal–oxide–semiconductor) structures. The key topics are the concepts of surface depletion, threshold, and inversion; MOS capacitor C–V; gate depletion; inversion-layer thickness; and two imaging devices—charge-coupled device and CMOS (complementary MOS) imager.

2012年2月24日 · MOS stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor. An MOS capacitor comprises a semiconductor body or substrate, an insulator, and a metal gate. Typically, the gate is made from heavily doped n+ poly-silicon that functions like metal.

In this device, however, it is the voltage on the gate, vGS, that modulates the potential barrier height. The heart of this device is the MOS capacitor, which we will study today. To analyze the MOS capacitor we will use the same depletion approximation that we introduced in conjunction with p-n junctions.

What are the different bias regions in MOS capacitors? What do the electric field and electrostatic potential look like? What is the Debye length? What does the capacitance look like as a function of bias? Last time, we discussed the basic operation of the MOSFET...

MOS Capacitors: Where do the electrons in the inversion layer come from? Diffusion from the p-type substrate? If we relied on diffusion of minority carrier electrons from the p-type substrate it would take a long time to build up the inversion layer charge.

2023年11月3日 · Metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitors are small and versatile devices used in chips. They are interdigitated (interlocking like the fingers of two clasped hands), multi-finger capacitors formed by metal layers.

A MOS Capacitor can be created by placing an insulator between a metal plate and a semiconductor. Voltages applied on the metal induces positive (holes) or negative (electrons) charges on the surface of the semiconductor.

2023年9月19日 · MOS, or Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor capacitors, integrate oxide insulators, offering good voltage handling and low leakage currents. With their robust construction, MOS capacitors are often found in analogue and digital circuits alike.

For applications in RF, microwave, and GHz ranges, KYOCERA AVX now offers MOS Capacitors. MOS Capacitors are Single Layer Capacitors (SLCs) that use silicon dioxide to produce small, high Q, temperature stable, high breakdown voltage, low leakage capacitors.
