INTRODUCTION TO
TRANSISTOR
 In 1947 by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley
the transistor revolutionized the field of electronics

 A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch
electronic signals and electrical power.
 It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three
terminals for connection to an external circuit.
 The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern
electronic devices.

MOSFET STRUCTURE

• This device is symmetric, so either of the n+ regions can be source
or drain.
INTO TO FABRICATION…..!!!
•

Photolithography (photo)
–

Process of transferring pattern on mask to photoresist layer on wafer surface (pre-pattern the
chip)

•

Etching
–

Process of permanently removed the unwanted part of design on wafer surface to get the
desired pattern

•

Diffusion
–

Process of introducing dophant layer by movement of dophant atoms from high concentration
to low concentration area at high temperature

•

Ion implantation
–

Process of introducing dophant layer by bombardment of high energy dophant ion in high
electric field chamber

•

Oxidation
–

•

Process of growing thick or thin SiO2 layer depend on oxide application

CMP
–

Process to physically grind flat to have a planar surface for better exposure at photo process.

with electrons. Electrons in source
are able to flow across channel to
