Advanced electron mobility model of MOS inversion layer considering 2D-degenerate electron gas physics

Abstract
A novel mobility model for electrons in the Si-MOS inversion layer is proposed on the basis of two-dimensional degenerate electron gas physics. The mobility is found to be affected by Pauli's exclusion principle and the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. The universal relation between mobility and effective field strength in the normal direction can be consistently explained by the model, including its temperature dependence.<>
