Introduction to CMOS
The term CMOS stands for “Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor”.
CMOS technology is one of the most popular technology in the computer chip design industry.
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor transistor consists P-channel MOS (PMOS) and N-channel MOS (NMOS).
In CMOS, NMOS transistor used to control the high level(1) connection to ground at low level(0).
CMOS Diagram To Understand NMOS
NMOS
NMOS stands for “n-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor”. It is pronounced as en-moss.
It is a type of semiconductor that charges negatively. So that transistors are turned ON/OFF by the movement of electrons.
NMOS is a four terminal device and operates at the high logic.
The NMOS transistor works on the base of G’s value which is called Gate.

NMOS Structure
The NMOS is fabricated on a p-type substance, which is a single-crystal silicon wafer that provides physical support for the device. Two heavily doped n-type regions, are created in the substrate, indicated in the figure as:
n+ Source (‘S’)
n+ Drain (‘D’)
A layer of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) which is good insulator with thickness
is placed on the top of the substrate.
The Gate is heavily doped material

NMOS V-I Characteristics
Basically we have two regions: the Triode/Linear region at smaller VDS and the saturation region at higher VDS but Cut-Off and Deeply Triode regions also occurs in NMOS.

If the gate voltage is above threshold, but the source to drain voltage is small, the charge under the gate is uniform, and carries current much like a resistor.

When the voltage applied between drain and source, VDS, is kept very small. The device operates as a linear resistor whose value is controlled by VGS.

Impacts of length and Width on NMOS Gate Length
The gate length, L, is the distance the electrons have to travel. It is generally set at the minimum value (e.g. .18 micron) for nearly all logic transistors
As the gate length gets shorter, the gate capacitance gets smaller Gate As the gate length gets shorter, Body Source G the current drive of the transistor IG=0 B S

Impacts of length and Width on NMOS Gate Width
The gate width, W, is determined by the circuit designer.
One uses a wider gate to get more current (and thus charge a capacitor faster).
For example doubling W is the same as putting two equal-sized transistors

Purpose of NMOS
NMOS is fast than PMOS.
NMOS is used as a Switching and Amplification.
We use it where we have to discharge the some load.
The NMOS switching is great for discharging a node to ground. When VIN goes high (VDD ) then VOUT goes from VDD to ground. When it reaches VDD /2 we call that time the stage delay.
NMOS is used to built CMOS devices.
In CMOS devices NMOS is used as NOT Gate.

Summary NMOS
Working
NMOS is the four terminal electronic device. It is a type of semiconductor that charges negatively. So that transistors are turned ON/OFF by the movement of electrons.
NMOS is works on the basis of G’s value it is used in CMOS as a inverter.
Regions
NMOS have four regions. Which are: 1.
Linear / Triode Region
2.
Saturation Region
3.
Cut-off Region
4.
As Resistor Region
Summary VGS >
VTH and VDS < VGS − VTH : The Linear Region
The second mode of operation is the linear region when VGS > VTH and VDS < VGS − VTH. Where the current remains uniform.
ID = kn {2( VGS – VTH )VDS – VDS . VDS } VGS
> VTH and VDS > VGS − Vt: The Saturation Mode
The saturation mode occurs when VGS > VTH and VDS > VGS − VTH. In this mode the switch is on and conducting, however since drain voltage is higher than the gate voltage, part of the channel is turned off. ID = kn {( VGS – VTH ). ( VGS – VTH )}
Summary The
sub-threshold or cut-off mode; VGS < Vt:
where Vt is the threshold voltage. In this mode the device is essentially off, and in the ideal case there is no current flowing through the device.
