5.1.1 Model Equations

It is widely accepted and confirmed that the effective mobility depends only on the effective electrical field perpendicular to the silicon surface and is independent of the doping level near the interface [91][47][41]. This dependence reflects at the microscopic level the empirical universal mobility model [99][89]. Accordingly the vertical field     dependence of P-channel mobility model can be expressed in the following form:

 

where is the channel mobility, is the vertical field along the channel region, , and are model parameters. The accuracy of (5.1) has been verified with for a wide range of substrate concentration, oxide thickness and vertical field [47][41]. As device size is reduced and/or   lateral field is increased, the mobility degradation with the lateral electrical field has the following relationship [91][17]:

 

where accounts for lateral field dependence of channel mobility, is the horizontal field, denotes the saturation velocity and is a model parameter.
