Gate voltage at the onset of inversion

Note: This is a rather large threshold voltage because we have not included the effect of the metal-semiconductor work function difference (to be discussed in the next lecture).

Summary
1) The gate voltage induces charge in the semiconductor by bending the bands.
2) There is a simple (exact) relation between the gate voltage and the surface potential, but it must be solved numerically.
3) There is an approximate relation between gate
voltage and surface potential that works well in depletion.

Next topic
We have discussed an ideal MOS capacitor. In the next lecture we will add two important factors that affect real MOS capacitors.
