This is known as inversion. The threshold voltage at which this conversion happens is one of the most important parameters in a MOSFET. In the case of a p-type MOSFET, bulk inversion happens when the intrinsic energy level at the surface becomes smaller than the Fermi level at the surface. This can be seen on a band diagram.
The mode can be determined by the sign of the threshold voltage (gate voltage relative to source voltage at the point where an inversion layer just forms in the channel): for an N-type FET, enhancement-mode devices have positive thresholds, and depletion-mode devices have negative thresholds; for a P-type FET, enhancement-mode have negative ...
As channel length is reduced, the effects of DIBL in the subthreshold region (weak inversion) show up initially as a simple translation of the subthreshold current vs. gate bias curve with change in drain-voltage, which can be modeled as a simple change in threshold voltage with drain bias. However, at shorter lengths the slope of the current ...
PMOS uses p-channel (+) metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) to implement logic gates and other digital circuits. PMOS transistors operate by creating an inversion layer in an n-type transistor body. This inversion layer, called the p-channel, can conduct holes between p-type "source" and "drain" terminals.
A nanowire MOSFET's current–voltage characteristic (left, using logarithmic y-axis) and a simulation of the electron density (right) forming a conductive inversion channel which connects at the ~0.45 V threshold voltage. Extremely little current flows below this voltage.
In semiconductor physics, the depletion region, also called depletion layer, depletion zone, junction region, space charge region, or space charge layer, is an insulating region within a conductive, doped semiconductor material where the mobile charge carriers have diffused away, or been forced away by an electric field. The only elements left ...
