As the MOSFET channel length srihnks to 0.1 mu m, the influence of the
lateral field on the device characteristics becomes increasingly impo
rtant even at low drain voltage (10mV). The authors present a new meth
od which takes into account the effect of the lateral field to extract
the deep submicrometre MOSFET parameters such as threshold voltage, e
ffective channel length, effective mobility and parasitic series resis
tance.
