The primary performance parameters and the qualification
parameters used for pass/fail decisions are listed in
Table 2.
The numbers in the `source' column refer to the required device
simulations (cf. Table 1).
It is important to note, that the threshold voltage does not appear
in this list, nor is it needed in any other way.
However, as the threshold voltage is a very vivid and popular
parameter VT,lin has been added to a list of so-called informational
parameters, i.e., quantities that are only indirectly linked
to performance and sensitivity (cf. Table 3).
For all parameter definitions that require arbitrary threshold currents
(such as for VT,sat, Vpunch [4]) one unique characteristic
current IT is
extracted from data set 5b by extrapolating log(ID) to VD=0V.
