THEORY A MOS transistor is termed as a majority-carrier device, in which the current in conducting channel between the source and the drain is modulated by the voltage applied to the gate. In an n-type MOS transistor, the majority carriers are electrons. A positive voltage on the gate with respect to the substrate enhances the number of electrons in the channel. Electrically, a MOS devices acts as a voltage-controlled switch that conducts initially when the gate to source voltage ,Vgs, is equal to the threshold voltage

PSPICE overview:

To design an electronic circuit or to analyze, it requires accurate methods forevaluating circuit performance Modern electronic circuits are so complex that computer aided circuit analysis is indispensable. On this introductory homepage, PSPICE is used as the simulation tool to analyses the working of three different circuits. Pspice from MicroSim Corporation is one of the many commercial derivatives of U.C. Berkeley SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis). It is widely used for analog circuit simulation. Simulation, can take on various levels of device and component modeling, depending on the objective of the simulation. Most of the simulation work in this course use idealized or default component models, making the results first-order approximations. Writing a circuit file for Pspice simulation is quite easy. First of all, a circuit diagram must be drawn and all the nodes numbered. All the special devices like the diode, SCRS or transistors must be modeled before using them. Sometimes it may be possible to use the default models provided with the software package. Probe is a separate program that comes with Pspice. It allows the user to look at the waveforms of different current and voltages. After running the Pspice file, the output required for running the probe is written to a dat file if the probe command was included in the original Pspice circuit file. Probe is also capable of mathematical computations involving currents and/or voltages, including numerical determination of rms and average values, and Fourier analysis.

THEORY: A MOS transistor evolves from the use of a voltage on the gate to induce a charge in the channel between source drain, which may then be caused to move from source to drain under the influence of an electric field created by voltage Vds applied between drain and source voltage Vgs then Ids is depent on both Vgs and Vds The ideal equations describing the behavior of an MOS (n-type) device in three regions are shown below. The same equation with

Cutoff Region IdS = 0 \/gs Vt < 0

Non-saturation, linear or triode region: Ids = [(Vgs < Vt) Vds - V2ds /2] Vgs - Vt > Vds

Saturation region or active region Ids = (Vgs < Vt)2 /2 0 -Vgs - Vt Vds Where Ids is drain to source current, Vgs is gate-to-source voltage, Vt is device threshold, is MOS transistor gain factor, 13 is dependent on both the process parameters and device geometry. B = / Tox (W/L) p - Effective surface mobility of the carriers in the channel E - The permittivity if the gate insulator. Tox - Thickness of gate insulator. W - Width of the channel L - Length of channel

CIRCUIT DESCRPTION CMOS INVERTER A CMOS inverter use both NMOS and PMOS. If input is zero, PMOS is closed and NMOS is open. So output capacitance is charged to Vdd. if input is Vdd, PMOS is open and NMOS conducts so output discharges to zero.
