Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the inversion condition Ï•s and Ï•F?

  • They are unrelated
  • They are inversely proportional
  • They are directly proportional
  • They are equal (correct)

At the onset of surface inversion in a MOS structure, how can the maximum depletion region depth be determined?

  • By using the inversion condition Ï•s = - Ï•F (correct)
  • By ignoring the surface inversion condition
  • By increasing the gate bias voltage
  • By decreasing the drain bias voltage

What is the mode of operation dependent on in a MOS system?

  • Drain-source voltage only
  • Gate bias voltage, drain voltage, source voltage (correct)
  • Gate-source voltage, drain-source voltage
  • Gate-drain voltage, source-drain voltage
