In MOSCAP, why does the band stop bending as soon as the Si Fermi level touches either the conduction band (inversion) or the valance band (accumulation)?

Click For Summary
In MOS capacitors, the band bending ceases when the silicon Fermi level reaches the conduction band during inversion or the valence band during accumulation. This phenomenon occurs because the energy levels align, preventing further bending. Participants in the discussion suggest utilizing Google and YouTube resources for additional insights on MOSCAP band diagrams. Despite the search for answers, some users express frustration at the lack of clear explanations. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of understanding MOS capacitor behavior under extreme bias conditions.

Don't know, but a Google search found some good hits.

If you watch this one directly on youtube, they show links for more videos on the subject by the same author. (Jordan Edmunds)
