How to Evaluate Critical Electric Field?

Critical Electric Field evaluator uses Critical Electric Field = (2*Velocity Saturation)/Mobility of Electron to evaluate the Critical Electric Field, The Critical Electric Field CMOS formula is defined as the electric field at which the velocity of carrier saturates. The loss of energy is because of the collisions of carriers called as scattering effect. Critical Electric Field is denoted by Ec symbol.
