How to Evaluate Drain Current from Source to Drain?

Drain Current from Source to Drain evaluator uses Drain Current = (Width of Junction*Inversion Layer Charge*Mobility of Holes in Channel*Horizontal Component of Electric Field in Channel) to evaluate the Drain Current, The Drain current from source to drain in saturation region of PMOS transistor given Vov, drain current first increases linearly with the applied drain-to-source voltage, but then reaches a maximum value. A depletion layer located at the drain end of the gate accommodates the additional drain-to-source voltage. This behavior is referred to as drain current saturation. Drain Current is denoted by Id symbol.
