Experimental Validation of a Simple Analytical Model for the Electrical Behaviour of Nanoscale MOSFETs

The validation of a new analytical model for the electrical characteristics of deep submicron MOS transistors is accomplished through theory-experiment comparison in this paper. The model is proven to be accurate in all predictions regarding the effect of velocity saturation on the parameters of nanoscale MOSFET: transconductance, transitions currents, etc. Experimental transfer characteristics of short channel devices match well with calculated curves based on the model, for different transistor geometries.
