Description

The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor is a device used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. In MOSFETs, a voltage on the oxide-insulated gate electrode can induce a conducting channel between the two other contacts called source and drain. The channel can be of n-typeor p-type, and is accordingly called an nMOSFET or a pMOSFET (also commonly nMOS, pMOS). It is by far the most common transistor in both digital and analog circuits, though the bipolar junction transistor was at one time much more common. More information on MOSFET can be found here.

  1. Lecture 3B: The Ballistic MOSFET

    Online Presentations | 10 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    This lecture is a continuation of part 3A. After discussion some bandstructure considerations, it describes how 2D and subthreshold electrostatics are included in the ballistic model.

  2. Physics of Nanoscale Transistors: An Introduction to Electronics from the Bottom Up

    Online Presentations | 10 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    Transistor scaling has pushed channel lengths to the nanometer regime, and advances in nanoscience have opened up many new possibilities for devices. To realize these opportunities, our traditional understanding of electronic devices needs to be complemented with a new perspective that begins...

  3. Lecture 2: Elementary Theory of the Nanoscale MOSFET

    Online Presentations | 08 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    A very simple (actually overly simple) treatment of the nanoscale MOSFET. This lecture conveys the essence of the approach using only simple mathematics. It sets the stage for the subsequent lectures.

  4. Lecture 4: Scattering in Nanoscale MOSFETs

    Online Presentations | 08 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    No MOSFET is ever fully ballistic - there is always some carrier scattering. Scattering makes the problem complicated and requires detailed numerical simulations to treat properly. My objective in this lecture is to present a simple, physical picture that describes the essence of the problem and...

  5. Lecture 5: Application to State-of-the-Art FETs

    Online Presentations | 08 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    The previous lessons may seem a bit abstract and mathematical. To see how this all works, we examine measured data and show how the theory presented in the previous lessons help us understand the operation of modern FETs.

  7. 2008 NCN@Purdue Summer School: Electronics from the Bottom Up

    Workshops | 26 Aug 2008 | Contributor(s):: Muhammad A. Alam, Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

    Electronics from the Bottom Up is designed to promote the bottom-up perspective by beginning at the nanoscale, and working up to the micro and macroscale of devices and systems. For electronic devices, this means first understanding the smallest electronic device – a single molecule with two...

  8. Physics of Nanoscale MOSFETs

    Courses | 26 Aug 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    Transistor scaling has pushed channel lengths to the nanometer regime where traditional approaches to MOSFET device physics are less and less suitable This short course describes a way of understanding MOSFETs that is much more suitable than traditional approaches when the channel lengths are of...

  9. Lecture 1: Review of MOSFET Fundamentals

    Online Presentations | 26 Aug 2008 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    A quick review of the traditional theory of the MOSFET along with a review of key device performance metrics. A short discussion of the limits of the traditional (drift-diffusion) approach and the meaning of ballistic transport is also included.
