The EKV Mosfet model is a mathematical model of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors which is intended for circuit simulation and analog circuit design. [1] It was developed in the Swiss EPFL by Christian C. Enz, François Krummenacher and Eric A. Vittoz (hence the initials EKV) around 1995 based in part on work they had done in ...
The mode can be determined by the sign of the threshold voltage (gate voltage relative to source voltage at the point where an inversion layer just forms in the channel): for an N-type FET, enhancement-mode devices have positive thresholds, and depletion-mode devices have negative thresholds; for a P-type FET, enhancement-mode have negative ...
The conductive channel connects from source to drain at the FET's threshold voltage. Even more electrons attract towards the gate at higher V GS, which widens the channel. The reverse is true for the p-channel "enhancement-mode" MOS transistor. When V GS = 0 the device is “OFF” and the channel is open / non-conducting. The application of a ...
Overdrive voltage, usually abbreviated as V OV, is typically referred to in the context of MOSFET transistors.The overdrive voltage is defined as the voltage between transistor gate and source (V GS) in excess of the threshold voltage (V TH) where V TH is defined as the minimum voltage required between gate and source to turn the transistor on (allow it to conduct electricity).

The source and drain (unlike the body) are highly doped as signified by a "+" sign after the type of doping. If the MOSFET is an n-channel or nMOS FET, then the source and drain are n+ regions and the body is a p region. If the MOSFET is a p-channel or pMOS FET, then the source and drain are p+ regions and the body is a n region. The source is ...

The subthreshold slope is a feature of a MOSFET's current–voltage characteristic.. In the subthreshold region, the drain current behaviour—though being controlled by the gate terminal—is similar to the exponentially decreasing current of a forward biased diode.
