MOSCAP

hi,
can any body please tell me why moscap is made in N substrate (i knew that we can connect nmos drain and source and it works well, in that case it will be P substrate)
Thanks,

As far as I know, this allows for the moscap to have a dedicated ground terminal; without the nwell, the bottom plate of the moscap would be the substrate, so substrate noise (e.g. from digital logic) could then be coupled in..

hi,
thats fine but they could have put pwell right because then it works like nmos then we can connect Drain and Source..
Thanks,

if ur using NMOS -CAP it has to be p-sub and PMOS CAP it has to be n-well ..!!..i dont think we use Nmos and n-type substrate ..!!

Dear All,
N-Moscap in nwell means you need very low gate voltage to send the device into strong inversion. So the C-V does not have accumulation region . With this kind of C-V (monotonic) a VARACTOR is realized. They call it NMOSCAP-VARACTOR.

hi,
i donno weather i am complicating this question or not, but what i thought is it is like having n diffusion's in nwell,so how inversion will come..i think it will be in accumulation only and works for +ve voltage
Thanks,
Rajasekhar.

@ raja
if you apply +ve gate voltage ...how can u say its in accumulation ??...infact it will be inverted ....i guess dipankar got it right ...it should be in inversion with less gate voltage.

if you apply +ve voltage it will attract all electrons from nwell..so this is accumulation..how inversion will come?

Dear Raja,
The crux is nmoscap in nwell gives a monotonic CV curve. That's the motivation behind the structure - creating a mos-varactor.
