==MOS Capacitor==
==Coordinate system==
The '''MOS capacitor''' or '''metal-oxide semiconductor''' capacitor is a two terminal device consisting of three layers: a metal ''gate'' electrode, a separating insulator (often an oxide layer), and a semiconducting layer called the ''body''. The device operates using the [[field effect]], that is, the modulation of the surface conductivity of the semiconductor body by means of an applied voltage between the gate and the body.


==Operation==
The coordinates of a point '''r''' in an ''n''-dimensional real numerical space ℝ<sup>n</sup> or a complex ''n''-space ℂ<sup>n</sup>  are simply an ordered set of ''n'' real or complex numbers:<ref name=Korn>

A device based upon a uniformly doped ''p''-type body is described. The ''n''-type case is similar. The device has four regions of operation depending upon the applied voltage between gate and body:

#''Accumulation'': For a negative gate bias, holes are drawn to the semiconductor-insulator interface. A conducting surface extends from the bulk all the way to the interface, and the surface conductivity is enhanced by the accumulation of holes at the interface.

#''Flat bands'': For a specific value of voltage, the bulk hole density is exactly the same from the bulk to the interface. The body is everywhere charge neutral because the hole density exactly balances the acceptor density. The ''flatband voltage'' corresponds to a zero potential drop in the body, but that does not necessarily correspond to zero applied voltage because of the [[contact potential]] between the metal gate and the body that leads to band bending even when zero voltage is applied.
 
#''Depletion'': For a positive gate voltage, the holes are pushed away from the positive charge on the gate electrode, and a surface layer depleted of holes is formed extending from the interface to the depth necessary to make the exposed, immobile, negative acceptor ion charge exactly balance the positive charge on the gate. Increase in positive charge on the gate with increasing voltage is balanced by expansion of the depletion layer, increasing the acceptor charge.
</ref><ref name=Morita>
#''Inversion'': For positive gate voltages above a ''threshold voltage'', a surface inversion layer of electrons forms in a narrow layer near the interface. This conducting inversion layer is separated form the ''p''-type neutral bulk by the intervening insulating depletion layer of immobile acceptor charge. Once the gate voltage increases beyond the threshold voltage, additional positive charge on the gate is compensated by increased inversion layer electron charge, and the depletion layer depth no longer expands.

Coordinate system

The coordinates of a point r in an n-dimensional real numerical space ℝn or a complex n-space ℂn are simply an ordered set of n real or complex numbers:[1][2][3]

Coordinate surfaces, coordinate lines, and basis vectors are components of a coordinate system.[4]

Manifolds

A coordinate system in mathematics is a facet of geometry or of algebra, in particular, a property of manifolds (for example, in physics, configuration spaces or phase spaces).[5][2] The coordinates of a point r in an n-dimensional space are simply an ordered set of n numbers:[1]

In a general Banach space, these numbers could be (for example) coefficients in a functional expansion like a Fourier series. In a physical problem, they could be spacetime coordinates or normal mode amplitudes. In a robot design, they could be angles of relative rotations, linear displacements, or deformations of joints.[6] Here we will suppose these coordinates can be related to a Cartesian coordinate system by a set of functions:

   

where x, y, z, etc. are the n Cartesian coordinates of the point. Given these functions, coordinate surfaces are defined by the relations:

   

The intersection of these surfaces define coordinate lines. At any selected point, tangents to the intersecting coordinate lines at that point define a set of basis vectors {e1, e2, …, en} at that point. That is:

which can be normalized to be of unit length. For more detail see curvilinear coordinates.

Coordinate surfaces, coordinate lines, and basis vectors are components of a coordinate system.[4] If the basis vectors are orthogonal at every point, the coordinate system is an orthogonal coordinate system.

An important aspect of a coordinate system is its metric gik, which determines the arc length ds in the coordinate system in terms of its coordinates:[7]

where repeated indices are summed over.

As is apparent from these remarks, a coordinate system is a mathematical construct, part of an axiomatic system. There is no necessary connection between coordinate systems and physical motion (or any other aspect of reality). However, coordinate systems can be used to describe motion by interpreting one coordinate as time. Thus, Lorentz transformations and Galilean transformations may be viewed as coordinate transformations.
