Longitudinal Field Mobility Reduction Model (Vsat)

For high fields which are parallel to the current flow, the effects of velocity saturation must be taken into account. A general approach is to multiply the low-field mobility (e.g., Arora and/or Lombardi model) by a reduction factor which takes into the consideration the high longitudinal (parallel) fields:

equation99

for which tex2html_wrap_inline2795 is the low field mobility, and tex2html_wrap_inline2797 is the high field longitudinal reduction factor. The form of tex2html_wrap_inline2797 used for silicon is:

equation108

The temperature dependence of tex2html_wrap_inline2801 is given by:
