Main Features of Diffusion-Drift Model
Explicit analytical solution of current
continuity equation in the FET channel
This allows to obtain electric and chemical
potentials distributions along the channel
Gradient of electrochemical potential (quasi-
Fermi level) near the source yields I-V
characteristics
Diffusion to Drift current Ratio is determined
by the gate screening and polarization of
carrier gas in the channel

Drift velocity saturation:
Drift velocity saturation:
-depends on details of scattering processes;
- determined by optical phonon emission for high-field
conditions in short-channel FETs
- typical maximum drift velocity in graphene
- has fundamental character and stems from a nature mutual
screening between electrodes in the field-effect devices;
- imposes maximal magnitudes saturation current of ideal
long-channel FETs

UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS
Near the Charge Neutrality Point (CNP) the Fermi
wavelength becomes macroscopic and semi-
classical approximation generally failed
High electric field in the channel especially near
the drain leads to extrinsic conductivity due to :
- Impact generation
- Quantum tunneling generation
between conduction and
valence bands

Conclusions
Semi-classical diffusion-drift model of
Double Gate GFET has been developed
Quantitative criterion for crossover between
two saturation modes
Pinch-off (square-law ) prevails for low
carrier concentration (near the CNP)
