Channel Length Modulation: A Second Order Effect of MOSFET

Channel Length Modulation is a second order effect that occurs in MOSFETs when the drain voltage exceeds the overdrive voltage. The channel takes on a tapered shape, pinching off near the drain. This effectively reduces the channel length and allows the pinch off point to move toward the source. As a result, the drain current increases with drain voltage in saturation, and the MOSFET exhibits a finite output resistance.

Channel Length Modulation :

A Second Order Effect of MOSFET

Uniform Channel
Uniform channel for VDrain =Vsource=0

Tapered Channel
When VDrain= +Voltage, Channel takes tapered form: Deepest at the source end Shallowest at the drain end

Pinch Off
When VDS equals overdrive voltage(VGS- VT) Pinch Off : Channel width at drain end almost 0 Being called pinch off condition

Channel Length Modulation


When VDS exceeds overdrive voltage(VGS- VT) pinch off point moves toward source end Effective length of channel is reduced This is known as Channel Length Modulation

Impacts of Channel Length Modulation


Drain current in saturation region becomes dependent on VDS Increase in drain current ( l= process parameter)

Impacts of Channel Length Modulation


Finite output resistance.
