Constants (Neamen, Si @ 300 K):
ni = 1.5×1010 · Nc = 2.8×1019 · Nv = 1.04×1019 · kT/e = 0.0259 V
εs = 1.035×10−12 F/cm · εox = 3.45×10−13 F/cm · Eg = 1.12 eV · A* = 120 A/K2cm2

PART 1 — CHAPTER 4: The Semiconductor in Equilibrium
Problem 4.3 — Maximum operating temperature ★★★
Given: Si device e ni ke (a) 5×1011 cm−3, (b) 5×1012 cm−3 er beshi hote deya jabe na. Eg = 1.12 eV. Find:
maximum temperature.

Step 1 — Temperature-dependent ni likho. Nc ar Nv doitai T3/2 e vary kore, tai product ta T3:

ni2(T) = Nc0Nv0 (T/300)3 exp(−Eg/kT)


Nc0Nv0 = (2.8×1019)(1.04×1019) = 2.912×1038

Step 2 — ln nao, ekta transcendental equation pabe:

3 ln(T/300) − 12993/T = ln[ ni2 / 2.912×1038 ]

ekhane Eg/k = 1.12 / 8.62×10−5 = 12993 K (mukhosto rakho)

Step 3 — Trial & error. (a) ni = 5×1011 → RHS = ln(2.5×1023/2.912×1038) = −34.69

Trial T 3 ln(T/300) −12993/T LHS Verdict


350 K 0.4626 −37.12 −36.66 onek chhoto → T barao

370 K 0.6293 −35.12 −34.49 ektu boro → komao

368 K 0.6130 −35.31 −34.69 ✓ mile gelo

(a) Tmax = 368 K (≈ 95°C) | (b) Tmax = 418 K (≈ 145°C)

Interpretation: Ei temperature er upore ni doping ke dominate kore — device extrinsic character hariye
intrinsic hoye jay, junction kaj kora bondho kore. ni limit 10× barano hole T matro 50 K bare — karon ni er T-
dependence exponential, tai ekta chhoto temperature window-i onek boro ni change ane. Ei jonnoi high-
temperature electronics e wide-bandgap material (SiC Eg=3.2, GaN 3.4 eV) lage — boro Eg mane exp(−Eg/kT)
khub chhoto, ni chhoto thake.
Problem 4.4 — Nc0Nv0 ar Eg ber koro (reverse problem) ★★

Given: ni = 1.40×102 cm−3 @ 200 K, ni = 7.70×1010 cm−3 @ 400 K. Find: Nc0Nv0 product ar Eg.

Step 1 — Duita equation likho, tarpor RATIO nao (ei trick ta unknown Nc0Nv0 ke bad diye dey):

ni2(400) / ni2(200) = (400/200)3 · exp[ (Eg/k)(1/200 − 1/400) ]

(7.70×1010)2 / (1.40×102)2 = 5.929×1021 / 1.96×104 = 3.025×1017

Step 2 — Eg solve koro:

3.025×1017 / 8 = exp[ Eg / (8.62×10−5 × 400) ]


ln(3.781×1016) = 38.17 = Eg × 29.00 → Eg = 1.316 eV

Step 3 — Ekta equation e phire giye Nc0Nv0 ber koro (T = 200 K use kori):

1.96×104 = A × (200/300)3 × exp(−1.316/(8.62×10−5×200))


1.96×104 = A × 0.2963 × 6.99×10−34

Eg = 1.316 eV | Nc0Nv0 = 9.46×1037 cm−6

Kaje lagbe: Ei "duita measurement theke ratio nao" technique ta general — ekta unknown ke eliminate kore.
Eg = 1.316 eV Si (1.12) er cheye boro, GaAs (1.42) er kachakachi — mane eta ekta wide-gap material.

Problem 4.17 — Basic n-type chain ★★


Given: Si @ 300 K, arsenic doped, n0 = 7×1015 cm−3.

(a) Ec − EF = kT ln(Nc/n0) = 0.0259 × ln(2.8×1019/7×1015) = 0.0259 × ln(4000) = 0.0259 × 8.294


(b) EF − Ev = Eg − (Ec−EF) = 1.12 − 0.2148
(c) p0 = ni2/n0 = (1.5×1010)2/7×1015 = 2.25×1020/7×1015
(e) EF − EFi = kT ln(n0/ni) = 0.0259 × ln(4.667×105) = 0.0259 × 13.05

(a) 0.2148 eV | (b) 0.9052 eV | (c) p0 = 3.21×104 cm−3 | (d) hole minority | (e) 0.338 eV

Sanity check: n-type e EF obosshoi EFi er upore thakbe (0.338 eV upore ✓), ar Ec er kachakachi (0.215 eV
niche ✓). Duita answer 0.2148 + 0.9052 = 1.12 = Eg ✓ — ei check ta proti bar koro.
Problem 4.34 — Compensated semiconductor, 5 cases ★★★
Master formula:

n-type (Nd>Na): n0 = (Nd−Na)/2 + √[ ((Nd−Na)/2)2 + ni2 ] , p0 = ni2/n0


p-type (Na>Nd): p0 = (Na−Nd)/2 + √[ ((Na−Nd)/2)2 + ni2 ] , n0 = ni2/p0

Case T ni(T) Type n0 (cm−3) p0 (cm−3)

(a) Nd=1015, Na=4×1015 300 K 1.5×1010 p 7.5×104 3.0×1015

(b) Nd=3×1016, Na=0 300 K 1.5×1010 n 3.0×1016 7.5×103

(c) Nd=Na=2×1015 300 K 1.5×1010 intrinsic 1.5×1010 1.5×1010

(d) Nd=0, Na=4×1015 375 K 7.14×1011 p 1.28×108 4.0×1015

(e) Nd=1014, Na=0 450 K 1.68×1013 n 1.03×1014 2.76×1012

Case (e) er detail (ekhane-i asol shikkha):

ni(450) = √[2.912×1038 × (450/300)3 × exp(−12993/450)] = 1.68×1013


Nd/2 = 5×1013
n0 = 5×1013 + √[(5×1013)2 + (1.68×1013)2] = 5×1013 + 5.28×1013 = 1.03×1014

Ei ta-i exam er trap: Case (a)–(d) te ni << |Nd−Na|, tai shortcut n0 ≈ Nd−Na khate. Kintu case (e) te ni =
1.68×1013 ar Nd = 1014 — eki order! Shortcut nile 1014 pete, asol uttor 1.03×1014 — 3% bhul. Ar
temperature aro barle bhul aro barbe. Rule: high T ba low doping hole full formula use koro. Case (c): fully
compensated → material intrinsic er moto behave kore.

Problem 4.37 — Occupation probability ★★★


Given: n-Si @ 300 K. EF conduction band er 245 meV niche, ar donor level er 200 meV niche. Mane Ec−EF =
0.245 eV, Ed−EF = 0.200 eV. (Check: Ec−Ed = 45 meV ✓ Si donor er standard value)

(a) Donor level e electron thakar probability — degeneracy factor g = 2, tai formula te 1/2:
nd/Nd = 1 / [ 1 + (1/2)·exp((Ed−EF)/kT) ]
= 1 / [ 1 + 0.5 × exp(0.200/0.0259) ]
= 1 / [ 1 + 0.5 × exp(7.722) ] = 1 / [1 + 0.5 × 2256] = 1/1129

(b) Conduction band e kT upore ekta state e electron thakar probability — ei ta plain Fermi-Dirac, kono
degeneracy factor NA:

E − EF = 0.245 + 0.0259 = 0.2709 eV


fF(E) = 1/[1 + exp(0.2709/0.0259)] ≈ exp(−10.46)

(a) nd/Nd = 8.85×10−4 | (b) fF = 2.87×10−5

Interpretation: Matro 0.0885% donor un-ionized — mane 99.91% ionized, tai "complete ionization"
assumption room temperature e purro justified. Karon kT = 25.9 meV ar donor binding energy 45 meV — eki
order, tai thermal energy prai shob donor ke ionize kore dey.
Kintu T = 50 K e: kT = 4.3 meV, exponent 45/4.3 = 10.5 hoye jay → nd/Nd prai 1 → freeze-out, carrier prai nei.

Duita formula guliye felo na: Donor state → 1/2·exp((Ed−EF)/kT) | Acceptor state → 1/4·exp((EF−Ea)/kT) |
Normal band state → kono factor nei.
Problem 4.45 — ni ber koro (reverse) ★★

Given: Nd = 2×1014, Na = 1.2×1014, n0 = 1.1×1014 cm−3. Find: ni ar p0.

(Nd−Na)/2 = (2×1014 − 1.2×1014)/2 = 4×1013

1.1×1014 = 4×1013 + √[(4×1013)2 + ni2]


7×1013 = √[1.6×1027 + ni2]
4.9×1027 = 1.6×1027 + ni2 → ni2 = 3.3×1027

ni = 5.74×1013 cm−3 | p0 = ni2/n0 = 3.0×1013 cm−3

Interpretation: ni = 5.74×1013 — Si (1.5×1010) er cheye 4000× boro, Ge (2.4×1013) er kachakachi. Mane eta
narrow-bandgap material ba high temperature. Ar dekho p0 (3×1013) n0 (1.1×1014) er cheye matro 3.7×
chhoto — minority carrier negligible na, material prai intrinsic er dike.

Problem 4.47 — Type identify + Nd ber koro ★★

Given: Si @ 300 K, Na = 7×1015, p0 = 2×104 cm−3.

(a) p0 = 2×104 << ni = 1.5×1010 — hole ekdom kom, tai hole minority. → material n-type.
(b) n0 = ni2/p0 = 2.25×1020/2×104
(c) Charge neutrality: n0 − p0 = Nd − Na

Nd = n0 − p0 + Na = 1.125×1016 − 2×104 + 7×1015

(a) n-type | (b) n0 = 1.125×1016, p0 = 2×104 | (c) Nd = 1.83×1016 cm−3

Logic ta mone rakho: Na deya thakleo material n-type hote pare — jodi Nd boro hoy. Type ta doping compare
kore na, carrier concentration dekhe bolo. p0 < ni mane n-type, p0 > ni mane p-type.
Problem 4.50 — Max operating temp (5% rule) ★★★ — Q3(a) er EXACT type
Given: Si, Nd = 1015 cm−3. Intrinsic carrier gulo total electron concentration er 5% er beshi contribute korte
parbe na.

Step 1 — Criterion ke equation e convert koro. n0 = Nd + (intrinsic contribution). Condition: intrinsic part ≤
0.05·n0, mane Nd ≥ 0.95·n0:

n0 = Nd/0.95 = 1015/0.95 = 1.0526×1015 cm−3

Step 2 — p0 ber koro charge neutrality theke, tarpor ni:

p0 = n0 − Nd = 1.0526×1015 − 1015 = 5.26×1013


ni2 = n0·p0 = (1.0526×1015)(5.26×1013) = 5.54×1028
ni = 2.354×1014 cm−3

Step 3 — Ei ni kon T te hoy? Trial & error:

(T/300)3 exp(−12993/T) = ni2/2.912×1038 = 1.902×10−10

Trial T LHS Verdict


500 K 2.75×10−11 chhoto → T barao

550 K 2.86×10−10 boro → komao

538 K 1.90×10−10 ✓

(a) Tmax = 538 K (≈ 265°C)

(b) Ec − EF er change:

@300 K: Ec−EF = 0.0259 ln(2.8×1019/1015) = 0.0259 × 10.24 = 0.265 eV


19 1.5 19
@538 K: Nc(538) = 2.8×10 (538/300) = 6.73×10 , kT = 0.0464 eV
19 15
Ec−EF = 0.0464 × ln(6.73×10 /1.0526×10 ) = 0.0464 × 11.07 = 0.514 eV
Change = 0.514 − 0.265 = +0.249 eV
(c) Eg/2 = 0.56 eV. 300 K te EF midgap theke 0.56−0.265 = 0.295 eV upore. 538 K te 0.56−0.514 = 0.046
eV upore.

(c) EF onek beshi kache chole eshechhe intrinsic level er — 0.295 eV theke 0.046 eV

Interpretation: Temperature barle ni bare, ar EF midgap er dike shore — material er extrinsic character durbol

Problem 4.54 — Design: Nd add koro given EF er jonno ★★

Given: Si @ 300 K e already Na = 5×1015. Donor add kore n-type compensated banate hobe, jate EF
conduction band er 0.215 eV niche thake. Find: Nd.

Step 1 — EF position theke n0 ber koro (ulta direction):

n0 = Nc exp[−(Ec−EF)/kT] = 2.8×1019 × exp(−0.215/0.0259)


= 2.8×1019 × exp(−8.301) = 2.8×1019 × 2.478×10−4 = 6.94×1015
Step 2 — n0 >> ni, tai n0 ≈ Nd − Na:

Nd = n0 + Na = 6.94×1015 + 5×1015

Nd = 1.19×1016 cm−3

Kaje lagbe: Compensated semiconductor diye specific Fermi level "design" kora jay — ei principle IC te

Problem 4.61 — Minimum bandgap design ★★★


Given: Notun p-type material, Na = 5×1015, Nd = 0. Nc = 1.2×1019, Nv = 1.8×1019 @ 300 K, ar T2 e vary
kore (Si er moto T3/2 na!). Requirement: 350 K e p0 ≤ 5.08×1015. Find: minimum Eg.

Step 1 — p0 limit theke ni ber koro (ulta kore):

p0 = Na/2 + √[(Na/2)2 + ni2]


5.08×1015 = 2.5×1015 + √[(2.5×1015)2 + ni2]
2.58×1015 = √[6.25×1030 + ni2]
6.6564×1030 = 6.25×1030 + ni2 → ni2 = 4.064×1029, ni = 6.375×1014

Step 2 — NcNv at 350 K. Duitai T2 e vary kore, tai product T4 e:

NcNv(350) = (1.2×1019)(1.8×1019) × (350/300)4 = 2.16×1038 × 1.852 = 4.00×1038

Step 3 — Eg solve koro:

ni2 = NcNv exp(−Eg/kT), kT(350) = 8.62×10−5×350 = 0.03017 eV


4.064×1029 = 4.00×1038 exp(−Eg/0.03017)
exp(−Eg/0.03017) = 1.016×10−9
Eg = 0.03017 × 20.71

Eg,min = 0.625 eV

Duita trap ekhane: (1) Nc, Nv T2 e vary korche, T3/2 e na — tai product T4, T3 na. Question ta bhalo kore poro.
(2) "minimum" bandgap — karon choto Eg mane boro ni. Eg ei value er niche gele ni bere jabe ar p0 limit

Interpretation: 0.625 eV Ge (0.66 eV) er kachakachi — mane ei spec ekta narrow-gap material diyeo meet
kora jay, kintu Ge er cheye kom gele hobe na.
PART 2 — CHAPTER 9: Metal–Semiconductor & Heterojunctions
Problem 9.3 — Schottky master chain (Au on n-Si) ★★★
Given: Au (φm = 5.1 V) on n-Si, Nd = 1016 cm−3, T = 300 K, ideal junction.

(a) φB0 = φm − χ = 5.1 − 4.01 = 1.09 V

(b) φn = (kT/e) ln(Nc/Nd) = 0.0259 × ln(2.8×1019/1016) = 0.0259 × 7.937 = 0.2056 V


Vbi = φB0 − φn = 1.09 − 0.2056 = 0.8844 V

(c) xn = √[ 2εs(Vbi+VR) / (eNd) ] , Emax = 2(Vbi+VR)/xn

Bias Vbi+VR xn (cm) Emax (V/cm)


VR = 0 0.884 V 3.38×10−5 5.23×104

VR = 1 V 1.884 V 4.94×10−5 7.63×104

VR = 5 V 5.884 V 8.73×10−5 1.35×105

VR = 1 V er detail:

xn = √[2(1.035×10−12)(1.884)/((1.6×10−19)(1016))]
= √[3.90×10−12/1.6×10−3] = √(2.438×10−9) = 4.94×10−5 cm
Emax = 2(1.884)/4.94×10−5 = 7.63×104 V/cm

Problem 9.7 — 1/C′2 vs VR graph theke extraction ★★★

Given: n-GaAs Schottky diode, 1/C′2 vs VR plot deya ache (C′ = capacitance per cm2). Find: Vbi, Nd, φn, φB0.
(Nichey graph reading gulo example value — tomar paper er graph theke actual value nao, method ta eki
thakbe.)

Step 1 — Master equation:

C′j = εs/xn ⇒ 1/C′2 = 2(Vbi + VR) / (e εs Nd)

Ei ta ekta straight line: y = m·VR + c


slope m = 2/(e εs Nd)
x-intercept (jekhane 1/C′2 = 0): VR = −Vbi

Step 2 — Graph theke pora (example readings): line ta VR axis ke −0.80 V te cut kore, ar VR = 2 V te 1/C′2
= 3×1015 (F/cm2)−2.

Vbi = 0.80 V (x-intercept er magnitude)

slope = (3×1015 − 0) / (2 − (−0.80)) = 3×1015/2.80 = 1.071×1015

Nd = 2/(e εs × slope)
εs(GaAs) = 13.1 × 8.85×10−14 = 1.159×10−12 F/cm
Nd = 2/[(1.6×10−19)(1.159×10−12)(1.071×1015)] = 1.01×1016 cm−3

Step 3 — φn ar φB0: (GaAs: Nc = 4.7×1017)

φn = 0.0259 ln(4.7×1017/1.01×1016) = 0.0259 × 3.840 = 0.0995 V


φB0 = Vbi + φn = 0.80 + 0.0995 = 0.90 V

Follow-up question guaranteed: "Theoretical φB0 = φm − χ er shathe compare koro. Alada keno?"
Answer: Interface states. Semiconductor surface e allowed energy states thake jara Fermi level ke "pin" kore

• Dit → ∞ : φBn = (Eg − eφ0)/e — metal er kono bhumika-i nei (complete Fermi pinning)
• Dit → 0 : φBn = φm − χ (ideal)
Karon Dit predict kora jay na, barrier height experimentally-i determine korte hoy — ei ta-i ei question er

Problem 9.8 — Schottky barrier lowering (image force) ★★
Given: W–n-Si, Nd = 5×1015, Figure 9.5 theke experimental φBn ≈ 0.67 V.

φn = 0.0259 ln(2.8×1019/5×1015) = 0.0259 × 8.631 = 0.2235 V


Vbi = 0.67 − 0.2235 = 0.4465 V

VR xn (cm) Emax (V/cm) Δφ (V) xm (Å)

1V 6.12×10−5 4.73×104 0.0241 25.5

5V 1.19×10−4 9.18×104 0.0336 18.3

Barrier lowering formula ar VR = 1 V er calculation:


Δφ = √[ e·Emax / (4πεs) ]
= √[ (1.6×10−19)(4.73×104) / (4π × 1.035×10−12) ]
= √[ 7.57×10−15 / 1.301×10−11 ] = √(5.82×10−4) = 0.0241 V

xm = √[ e / (16πεsEmax) ]
= √[ 1.6×10−19 / (5.203×10−11 × 4.73×104) ] = 2.55×10−7 cm = 25.5 Å

Interpretation: VR barle Emax bare → Δφ bare (barrier aro kome) ar xm kome (peak junction er aro kache shore
ashe). Effective barrier φBn = φB0 − Δφ, ar JsT ∝ exp(+eΔφ/kT). Ei jonnoi Schottky diode er reverse current
puropuri saturate kore na — dhire dhire bare. Δφ matro 24–34 mV, kintu kT = 25.9 mV — eki order, tai current
e effect ta noteworthy (e1 ≈ 2.7×).

Problem 9.14 — Thermionic emission current ★★★


Given: Pt–n-Si @ 300 K, Nd = 5×1015, φBn = 0.89 V, A* = 120 A/K2cm2. Barrier lowering neglect.

(a) φn = 0.0259 ln(2.8×1019/5×1015) = 0.2235 V

(b) Vbi = 0.89 − 0.2235 = 0.6665 V

(c) JsT = A*T2 exp(−eφBn/kT)


= 120 × (300)2 × exp(−0.89/0.0259)
= 1.08×107 × exp(−34.36)
= 1.08×107 × 1.192×10−15 = 1.29×10−8 A/cm2

(d) J = JsT[exp(eVa/kT) − 1] = 5 A/cm2


Va = (kT/e) ln(J/JsT + 1) = 0.0259 × ln(5/1.29×10−8)

(a) Schottky: J = I/A = 0.8×10−3/10−4 = 8 A/cm2


Va(Schottky) = 0.0259 ln(8/6×10−8) = 0.0259 × ln(1.333×108)

Va(pn) = 0.485 + 0.285 = 0.770 V

(b) J(pn) = Js[exp(Va/kT) − 1] = 10−11 × exp(0.770/0.0259)

exp(φBn/kT) = Rc · A*T2 / (kT/e) = Rc × 1.08×107 / 0.0259

(a) = 5×10−5 × 4.17×108 = 2.085×104


φBn = 0.0259 × ln(2.085×104) = 0.0259 × 9.947 = 0.258 V

xdT = √[4(1.035×10−12)(0.3381)/((1.6×10−19)(7×1015))]

Cox = εox/tox = 3.45×10−13/(450×10−8) = 7.667×10−8 F/cm2

VFB = φms − Q′ss/Cox


−1.0 = −0.90 − Q′ss/(7.667×10−8)
Q′ss/Cox = 0.10 V
Q′ss = 0.10 × 7.667×10−8 = 7.67×10−9 C/cm2

Q′ss = 7.67×10−9 C/cm2 = 4.79×1010 charges/cm2

Cox = 3.45×10−13/150×10−8 = 2.300×10−7 F/cm2
Q′ss(charge) = 7×1010 × 1.6×10−19 = 1.12×10−8 C/cm2

10.51 Given: n-channel, Na = 1016, γ = 0.12 V1/2. VT = 0.5 V @ VSB = 2.5 V. Find: VT @ VSB = 0.

φfp = 0.0259 ln(1016/1.5×1010) = 0.3473 V , 2φfp = 0.6946 V

ΔVT = 0.12[√(0.6946+2.5) − √0.6946] = 0.12[1.7873 − 0.8334] = 0.12 × 0.9539 = 0.1145 V

VT(VSB=0) = VT(VSB=2.5) − ΔVT = 0.5 − 0.1145 = 0.386 V

10.52 Given: p-channel, tox = 200 Å, Nd = 5×1015. (a) γ ber koro. (b) ΔVT = −0.22 V pete VBS koto lagbe?

(a) Cox = 3.45×10−13/200×10−8 = 1.725×10−7 F/cm2


γ = √(2eεsNd)/Cox = √(1.656×10−15)/1.725×10−7
= 4.069×10−8/1.725×10−7 = 0.236 V1/2

(b) φfn = 0.0259 ln(5×1015/1.5×1010) = 0.329 V , 2φfn = 0.659 V

|ΔVT| = γ[√(2φfn + VBS) − √(2φfn)]


0.22 / 0.236 = 0.9326 = √(0.659 + VBS) − 0.812
√(0.659 + VBS) = 1.744
0.659 + VBS = 3.043

10.51: VT(0) = 0.386 V | 10.52: γ = 0.236 V1/2, VBS = 2.38 V

p-channel er sign (ekhane shobai bhul kore): p-channel e Nd ar φfn use koro (Na, φfp na). Body-to-source

Problem 10.53 — Depletion mode + VSB diye VT = 0 ★★

Given: NMOS, n+ poly gate, tox = 400 Å, Na = 1015, Q′ss = 5×1010 cm−2.

(a) φfp = 0.0259 ln(1015/1.5×1010) = 0.2877 V , 2φfp = 0.5754 V


−5 −8
xdT = 8.628×10 cm , |Q′SD| = 1.380×10 C/cm2
Cox = 3.45×10−13/400×10−8 = 8.625×10−8 F/cm2
φms = −(0.56 + 0.2877) = −0.8477 V
Q′ss(charge) = 5×1010 × 1.6×10−19 = 8.0×10−9 C/cm2

VT = (1.380×10−8 − 8.0×10−9)/8.625×10−8 − 0.8477 + 0.5754


= 0.0673 − 0.8477 + 0.5754 = −0.205 V

(b) VT = 0 pete ΔVT = +0.205 V dorkar


γ = √(2eεsNa)/Cox = 1.820×10−8/8.625×10−8 = 0.211 V1/2
0.205/0.211 = 0.972 = √(0.5754+VSB) − 0.7586
√(0.5754+VSB) = 1.731 → 0.5754 + VSB = 2.995

(a) VT = −0.205 V (depletion mode) | (b) Hae, VSB = 2.42 V

Interpretation: VT negative mane VG = 0 tei channel ache — depletion mode device. Ei ta hoyeche tinta

Problem 10.56 — Cutoff frequency (ideal vs real) ★★
Given: μn = 400, tox = 500 Å, L = 2 μm, W = 20 μm, VT = 0.75 V, saturation @ VGS = 4 V. (b) gate oxide
source ar drain duitar shathe 0.75 μm overlap kore, RL = 10 kΩ.

(a) IDEAL (overlap nei):


fT = μn(VGS−VT) / (2πL2) = 400 × 3.25 / (2π × (2×10−4)2)
= 1300 / (2π × 4×10−8) = 1300/2.513×10−7 = 5.17 GHz

(b) OVERLAP soho:


Cox = 3.45×10−13/500×10−8 = 6.90×10−8 F/cm2
Cgs(channel) = Cox·W·L = 6.90×10−8 × 20×10−4 × 2×10−4 = 2.76×10−14 F
Coverlap = Cox·W·(0.75 μm) = 6.90×10−8 × 20×10−4 × 0.75×10−4 = 1.035×10−14 F

gms = (WμnCox/L)(VGS−VT) = (20×10−4 × 400 × 6.90×10−8/2×10−4) × 3.25


= 2.76×10−4 × 3.25 = 8.97×10−4 S

MILLER: CM = Cgd(1 + gmRL) = 1.035×10−14(1 + 8.97×10−4×104)


= 1.035×10−14 × 9.97 = 1.032×10−13 F

fT = gm / [2π(CgsT + CM)] = 8.97×10−4/[2π(3.795×10−14 + 1.032×10−13)]


= 8.97×10−4/8.87×10−13 = 1.01 GHz

(a) fT(ideal) = 5.17 GHz | (b) fT(real) = 1.01 GHz — 5× kome gelo
