About the subthreshold swing in SOI CMOS

Apr 20, 2006 2 Replies

For fully depleted SOI, some book says it can reach a nearly 60mV/Dec swing because its effective gate depletion width is large. What does "effective gate depletion width" mean ? I have only heard of "depletion width" in a bulk CMOS. Is it a unique advantage of SOI ? I am suspicious about it. If the depletion width (Wd) of bulk CMOS can be made big enough, then the control coefficient m=1+3tox/Wd also can approach 1. Thanks for attention
