Channel Region

The modification of the potential profile in the channel of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, caused by electrons in n+ contacts attracted to the surface by the gate voltage, is considered. Effective narrowing of the channel region, in which the transport is due to the phonon-assisted tunneling, could be responsible for the dramatic increase of the conductance with channel length in the strongly localized regime, as observed by Popović, Fowler, and Washburn.1
