3.4. Derivation of the Linear-Region Current – Voltage Relation
The voltage along the channel is defined as Vc(x) (Fig. 3.5), with the range 0 at x = 0 (source) to Vc(L) = VD (drain). The device is in the linear-region mode, that is, VD < Veffn. The charge in the channel at x is
Equation 3.20
where the charge at the source is Qchan = Cox(VGS – Vtno), as in the case of (3.2).
