Abstract: This paper investigates the turning-on-voltage (VFB/VTH) of Al2O3/GaN MOS stacks with n-doped GaN, p-doped GaN and not intentionally doped (NID) GaN by exploiting capacitance measurements on large gate area test structures with systematic variation of Al2O3 thickness (tox). Measurements are compared with 1D Schrödinger-Poisson simulations including incomplete ionization model. The necessity of using a quantum description of electron density is demonstrated especially for thinner gate oxides. We found that, contrary to what is expected, p-doping below the channel barely increases the VTH and the VTH is independent of tox, even if the density of activated acceptors is demonstrated to be sufficiently high. Our results highly suggest that the negative charge induced by p-doping is compensated at the oxide level.

[mos-ak] [Final Program] Spring MOS-AK Workshop April 29, 2022 (online)


Together with local host INAOE (MX), as well as all the Extended MOS-AK TPC Committee, would like to invite you to the Spring MOS-AK Workshop Compact/SPICE Modeling Workshop which will be organized as the virtual/online event on April 29, 2022

Upcoming online Spring MOS-AK Workshop aims to strengthen a network and discussion forum among experts in the field, create an open forum for sharing information related to compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization, bring academic and industrial experts in the compact modeling field together, as well as obtain feedback from technology developers, circuit designers, and CAD/EDA tool developers and vendors. The content will be helpful for anyone who needs to understand what is really behind the IC simulation in modern device models, in particular using Free 130nm Skywater PDK.

Final Spring MOS-AK Workshop Program is available online:

Fifty Nifty Variations of Two-Transistor Circuits: A tribute to the versatility of MOSFETs

Abstract: We present a compendium of two-MOS-transistor circuits, spanning the range from simple standard configurations to ingenious arrangements. Using these building blocks, circuit designers can assemble a vast array of complex analog functions. This (incomplete) collection shall serve as a reference and inspiration to junior circuit designers and hopefully contains at least one unexpected example for the professional engineer.

[paper] Universal Charge Model for Multigate MOS Structures

Kwang-Woon Lee and Sung-Min Hong
Derivation of a Universal Charge Model for Multigate MOS Structures
with Arbitrary Cross Sections

Abstract: A universal equation for the charge-voltage characteristics in the multigate metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structure with an arbitrary cross section is presented. A generalized coordinate is proposed and the Poisson equation is integrated with a weighting factor related with the generalized coordinate and the electric field. A compact charge model is derived and analytic and numerical examples for various MOS structures are shown.
