Problem 2. A MOSFET structure with an n-type substrate (also called 'body') has pn-junction diodes between 1) the source and the body, and 2) the
drain and the body. If the substrate was grounded, and a -1 V was placed on the source electrode, and a 2 V was placed on the drain electrode, what
would be the regions of operation of both the source/body and drain/body pn-junction diodes?
Problem 2. In a typical MOSFET
structure with a p-Si body, the
Drain/Body and Source/Body
regions are comprised of pn-
junction diodes because the Drain
and Source electrodes are attached
to the p-Si body layer through a
small island-like region of n-Si. If
these n-Si regions were not present,
describe what would happen if you
tried to measure the channel
current between the Source and
Drain electrodes in this device
(assuming the gate voltage has
properly created an inversion
channel)?
