conductance=29 µA/V2, γ=0.12V1/2, λ=0.04V-1, is biased with terminal voltages V G=5V, VD=5V,
VS=3V, and VB=0V,
i. Determine the type of MOSFET.
ii. Mode of operation of the transistor.
iii. W/L , If the drain current is ID=0.76mA,
Solution
The type and the mode of the operation of the MOSFET can be determined on the basis of the V T
(threshold voltage). First, we will find the threshhold voltage which is given by the following formula
V T =V ¿ + γ √|−2 ∅ f +V SB|−√|−2 ∅ f| ----------------1
The value of V ¿, γ and 2 ∅ f are the given we need the value V BS will be find using this convention
V SB =V S −V B =3V −0 V =3 V ---------------------2
By putting the all value in equaton-1
V T =−1.4467 V --------------------3
As VG ,V D AND V S are given we will find the value of V GS and V DS using the following formulas
To determined the type of the MOSFET we will compare the V GS voltage with threshold voltage
V T from the value on equation 3 and 4 , it is clear that V GS >V T , So this condition is valid and
MOSFET would be in on state when the type of the mosfet would be N-channel MOSFET.
2-Mode of operation of the transistor.
There are three mode of the operation of the MOSFET , cutt-off, linear mode and saturation
mode,for cutt-off mode V GS <V T , but in our case this condition is not satisfied , for saturation
modeV DS >V GS−V T , and for linear operation mode V DS <V GS−V T ,in our case
V GS−V T =2 V − (−1.444 )=3.446 V --------------------------
SEQ Equation¿ ARABIC6
From comparing the equation 5 and 6 , its clear that V DS <V GS−V T ,so the mode of operation of the
MOSFET is linear mode
3-Find W/L If the drain current is ID=0.76mA,
