Multiple choice

A MOS capacitor is made using p-type substrate in the accumulation mode. The dominant charge in the channel is due to the presence of

  1. holes

  2. electrons

  3. positively charged ions

  4. negatively charged ions

A Correct answer
Explanation

In accumulation mode for NMOS having p - substrate, when positive voltage is applied at the gate, this will induce negative charge near p - type surface beneath the gate. When VGS is made sufficiently large, an inversion of electrons is formed and this in effect forms an n - channel.
