Question: First table threshold voltage is 0 . 4 3 V and second table threshold voltage is 0 . 4 0 4 V . 1 .

First table threshold voltage is 0.43 V and second table threshold voltage is 0.404V.1. For \(130-\mathrm{nm}\) CMOS node, 2 nm of SiON is used as the gate dielectric to prevent impurity atom diffusion (SiON is denser). The structure is shown in the figure below on the left. For \(45-\mathrm{nm}\) CMOS node, HfO is used as the gate dielectric. HfO has a high dielectric constant of 20. This is the so-called high-K gate. In addition to the HfO layer, a very thin layer of SiO 2 was added to reduce the interface states. The structure is shown below on the right.
(a) Find the threshold voltage of these structures (You did this already in homework \#10. If you did this correctly, you can directly use the results you have for part b)(b) Assume electron mobility of \(300\mathrm{~cm}^{2}/\mathrm{V}\)-sec, electron saturation velocity of 8E6\(\mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{sec}\), and gate length of 130 nm . Calculate the drain current and the transconductance at \(\mathrm{Vgs}=1.2\mathrm{~V}\) and \(\mathrm{Vds}=1.2\mathrm{~V}\) using the velocity saturation model.
(c) Compare the drain current and the transconductance you obtained for the two structures, and explain the difference.
