FAQs on Channel Resistance

What is the formula to find Channel Resistance?
The formula of Channel Resistance is expressed as Channel Resistance = Transistor's Length/Transistor's Width*1/(Electron Mobility*Carrier Density). Here is an example- 3.463203 = 3.2E-06/5.5E-06*1/(30*0.0056).
How to calculate Channel Resistance?
With Transistor's Length (Lt), Transistor's Width (Wt), Electron Mobility n) & Carrier Density (Qon) we can find Channel Resistance using the formula - Channel Resistance = Transistor's Length/Transistor's Width*1/(Electron Mobility*Carrier Density).
Can the Channel Resistance be negative?
No, the Channel Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Channel Resistance?
Channel Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Channel Resistance can be measured.
