The square law is within 1% over a factor of 1.06 in overdrive

computed by solving, not by drawing. One field-effect device drawn against the two models it is between: the square law, which is zero below threshold and rises as the square of the overdrive, and the weak-inversion exponential, which rises at 77.4 mV per decade. The device is neither and approaches both. The two errors point opposite ways — the subthreshold current lifts it above the square law below, and velocity saturation holds it below above — so the square law is exact at 156.5 mV and the shaded band is where it is inside 1%: 152.0 mV to 161.7 mV, a factor of 1.06. The slider is the velocity-saturation voltage, which is the channel length times a critical field, so what it moves is the band's width and not its position.

Drawn above at its default parameters, which is almost never how an essay calls it. A placement states the numbers that essay is arguing about, so the figure a reader meets is about that argument rather than about the generator — 98% of the placements on this site pass one, and the phase that raised that number from 12% found eight captions describing a figure the page was not showing.

At those defaults the edge it states is 1% over 1.06× of overdrive — the right-hand slot of the caption strip, which on this site is never used for anything else, and which is read back out of the drawing above rather than out of the code that wrote it. It belongs to Devices, and where they stop being linear, which is to say a change to it is a change to lib/figures/semi.js. It takes a slider on velocity-saturation voltage Ec·L (volts) with 7 settings, and every one of them has passed the same assertions as the frame above — a figure whose circuit stops doing what its caption says at any setting stops the build.

The exponent that is a square

Every device in this collection so far has been an exponential, and the whole of its arithmetic — 59.5 millivolts a decade, a distortion edge at 1.03 millivolts, 3,333 parts per million a kelvin — comes out of that one law. A field-effect device obeys a different one, and the interesting part is that it obeys both: an exponential below threshold and a square above it. The square law is within one per cent over a factor of 1.06 in overdrive at half a micron, and the two errors that bound it point opposite ways.

The length that is a voltage

The square law's band is closed from above by a parameter that is not a bias, a current or a temperature: it is the channel length, wearing a voltage's units. Swept, the band goes from a factor of 4.74 on a thirty-micron device to 1.021 at fifty nanometres — and the overdrive a stage actually biases itself to barely moves at all, so the two cross at 7.93 microns and every shorter device is biased outside the band. The band was also measured in the wrong quantity: the square law is exact in the current somewhere at every length, and its error in the transconductance is never below 42.5 per cent at fifty nanometres and reaches one per cent only above 6.502 microns.
