a. For a MOS transistor which is having the parameters: VT0= - 0.9V, 2ΦF=0.54V, process trans-
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 =−0.9 v +0.12 √|−0.54 v +3 v|−√ ¿−0.54 V ∨¿

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

V GS=V G−V S=5 V −3 V =2V -----------------------SEQ Equation¿ ARABIC4

V DS=V D−V S=5 V −3V =2 V -------------------------

SEQ Equation¿ ARABIC5

1-Determine the type of MOSFET.

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,

First we need to find the all parameter of equation 8 , Φ GC is given we can find Φ f Using following
equation

Φ GC =Φ f −0.55

Arranging the above equation we can calculate the value of Φ f

Φ f =ΦGC +0.55=¿-0.85+0.55=-0.30v---------------------4

Next we will find the other parameter which is Q Bo will be calculate using following formula

Where ∈o=8.85× 10−14 so the value of of ∈si =1.03 10−12 , so putting all value in equation 10
we will get the value of the
