9 unusual facts about MOSFET


Flicker noise

MOSFETs have a higher fc (can be in the GHz range) than JFETs or bipolar transistors which is usually below 2 kHz for the latter.

Ghavam Shahidi

He studied electrical engineering at MIT, where he wrote a PhD thesis on "velocity overshoot in deeply scaled MOSFETs", under supervision of Professor Dimitri Antoniadis.

MC88110

The process has three levels of aluminium interconnect and an effective channel length (the distance between the source and drain contacts of the MOSFET transistors) of 0.8 µm.

PFET

p-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor)

Plasma actuator

The performance of plasma actuators is determined by dielectric materials and power inputs, later is limited by the qualities of MOSFET or IGBT.

Polycide

In a polycide MOSFET transistor process, the silicide is formed only over the polysilicon film as formation occurs prior to any polysilicon etch.

Savvas Chamberlain

During his time at the University of Waterloo, he invented many silicon image sensors, introduced new technology on MOSFET and Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) devices, and developed some fundamental theories.

VAX

CPU implementations that consisted of multiple MOSFET custom chips included the 8100 and 8200 class machines.

General Microelectronics

With Frank Wanlass as director of research and engineering, GMe was the first company to design, fabricate, and sell MOS integrated circuits, small-scale integrated chips for NASA satellites.

Robert W. Bower

Most notably was his induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1997 for his invention of the self-aligned gate ion implanted MOSFET.
