4 results about "Subthreshold slope" patented technology

The subthreshold slope is a feature of a MOSFET's current–voltage characteristic. In the subthreshold region, the drain current behaviour – though being controlled by the gate terminal – is similar to the exponentially decreasing current of a forward biased diode. Therefore a plot of drain current versus gate voltage with drain, source, and bulk voltages fixed will exhibit approximately log linear behaviour in this MOSFET operating regime.
