Transconductance Parameter of MOS Transistor Formula Elements

Variables
Transconductance Parameter
Transconductance parameter is the product of the process transconductance parameter and the transistor aspect ratio (W/L).
Symbol: Kn
Measurement: Transconductance ParameterUnit: mA/V²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drain Current
Drain current below threshold voltage is defined as the subthreshold current and varies exponentially with gate to source voltage.
Symbol: id
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Voltage across Oxide
Voltage across oxide is due to the charge at the oxide-semiconductor interface and the third term is due to the charge density in the oxide.
Symbol: Vox
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Threshold Voltage
Threshold voltage of transistor is the minimum gate to source voltage that is needed to create a conducting path between the source and drain terminals.
Symbol: Vt
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Voltage between Gate and Source
The voltage between gate and source is the voltage that falls across the gate-source terminal of the transistor.
Symbol: Vgs
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
