← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when polysilicon gate doping decreases in a MOSFET?
A)Threshold voltage magnitude increases notably✓
B)Drain current saturation velocity increases
C)Subthreshold swing maintains fixed value
D)Gate oxide leakage current is minimized
💡 Explanation
Increased depletion region width at the gate interface due to insufficient doping results in larger voltage required to establish the channel – a consequence of charge carrier starvation. Therefore, the threshold voltage magnitude increases rather than subthreshold swing being constant even with lower doping because the channel doping remains the same.
