Flat Band Voltage

01 Fundamentals & Device Physics

Notation VFB

Definition

The gate voltage of a MOS structure at which semiconductor band bending is removed so the semiconductor energy bands are flat; its value reflects work-function difference and fixed/interface charge.

Application

Used in MOS capacitor C–V analysis to extract oxide/interface charge and evaluate gate-stack process quality.
