- the storage layer 12 is formed. Therefore, a capacitance Cgb is generated here in inverse proportion to the thickness of the gate oxide film layer 3.
- FIG. 4 shows a state where Vgb has decreased to a value near (2) in FIG. This shows that the electron accumulation layer 12 attracted to the lower surface of the gate oxide film layer 3 also decreased along with the decrease of the holes accumulated in the gate electrode layer 4.
- Cgb generated by Vgb having a value from (1) to (2) in FIG. 2 is a gate oxide film capacitance and is a constant value.
- FIG. 5 shows a state where Vgb has decreased to a slightly negative value from 0V near (3) in FIG.
- the holes 11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the gate electrode layer 4 are replaced with the electrons 13, and the electrons in the electron storage layer 12 (see FIG. 4) and the N 11 near the lower surface of the gate oxide film layer 3 -Free electrons in Well layer 2 are emitted to deep layers in N-Well layer 2. Therefore, a depletion layer 14 composed of donor ions is formed on the lower surface of the gate oxide film layer 3. Therefore, Cgb becomes a series combined capacitance value of the capacitance of the good oxide film layer and the capacitance of the depletion layer, and decreases.
- FIG. 6 shows a state in which Vgb further decreases to a value near (4) in FIG. At this time, as the number of electrons 13 in the gate electrode layer 4 increases, the width of the depletion layer 14 increases, and the value of Cgb sharply decreases due to the increase in the width of the depletion layer as Vgb decreases.
- Vgb changes to the negative side, so that a schematic diagram in which electrons 13 are accumulated in the gate electrode is shown.
- the so-called threshold voltage is not exceeded even if the gate potential drops due to the drop in Vgb. Holes do not flow in and do not form P-channels.
- Vgb is equal to or less than a certain value (a value in which twice the built-in voltage generated between the N-well layer 2 and the intrinsic semiconductor is applied to the depletion layer 14 as described above).
- Figure 7 shows the state where the value near (5) in Fig. 2 is obtained.
- holes serving as minority carriers are generated in the depletion layer 14 by thermally generated electron-hole pairs.
- the holes generated here are absorbed by the P-type lead electrode 5 and released to GND. Therefore, no inversion layer is formed on the lower surface of the gate oxide film layer 3, and the width of the depletion layer increases. Therefore, even if Vgb is instantaneously transformed into the Cmin unstable region in the accumulation type shown in FIG. 2, Cgb is represented by the solid line in FIG. It is a value and does not change.
- FIG. 8 shows a state in which Vgb is further reduced and reaches a value near (6) in FIG. In this case as well, no inversion layer is formed and the width of the depletion layer increases, as described above, so that the instability in the Cmin region seen in the conventional accumulation type is improved.
- the flat band voltage Vfb is described as OV for simplicity.
- the gate electrode force and the N-well layer 2 By applying a bias by the built-in voltage generated between the intrinsic semiconductor and the characteristic curve and shifting it to the right as shown in Fig. 23 (A), it is possible to obtain a characteristic curve that is almost point-symmetric at the OV point. I can do it. Therefore, if this Pch transistor type MOS capacitor is incorporated as the external MA and the compensating MC in FIG. 20, the external frequency variable characteristics and the temperature compensation characteristics that are stable over time can be realized. If it is incorporated in the series temperature compensation circuit shown in Fig. 24, the room temperature frequency characteristics that are stable over time can be realized.

- the gate electrode of the low-temperature ML is connected to the opposite electrode of the high-temperature MH, and a connection point is supplied with a reference signal (reference voltage signal) Vref via an input resistor R3.
- Each line of the low-temperature section control voltage signal VL, the high-temperature section control voltage signal VH, and the reference signal Vref is connected to a control circuit, and the control circuit is connected to a temperature-sensitive element such as a thermistor. ing.

Electrodes are taken out as external terminals.

- the connection point 28 is connected to the power supply 32.
- holes 30 accumulate in the gate electrode layer 24 in FIG. 10 because Vgb is on the positive side. Has been. Due to the electric field of the holes 30, the holes of the P-Well layer near the lower surface of the gate oxide film 23 are released deep into the P-Well layer and into the layer, and a depletion layer 31 made of aptceptor ions is formed. As described above, in the depletion layer 31, the force generated by electrons, which are minority carriers generated by thermally generated electron-hole pairs, is absorbed by the N-type extraction electrode 25, and the inversion layer is not formed.
