MOSFET: IV (re-cap) LIN = W L µ nc ox ( V T ) SAT = W C ox υ sat AT = υ satl µ n ( V T ) AT We have developed a 2-piece approximation to the MOSFET IV characteristic. 20
piecewise model for (, ) W = Q n ( ) υ( ) V T : Q n ( ) = C ox ( V T ) < V T : Q n ( ) = 0 AT : υ ( ) = µ n > AT : υ( ) = υ sat L If we can make the average velocity go smoothly from the low to high limits, then we will have a smooth model for (, ) above threshold. 21

saturation function: F SAT (V D ) υ( ) = F SAT ( )υ sat F SAT ( ) = AT ( ) β 1+ V DSAT 1/β Although this is just an empirical method to produce smooth curve that properly goes between the small and large V D limits, it works very well in practice, which suggests that it captures something important about MOSFETs. 24
