Abstract

We investigate the influence of the gate-voltage dependence of the polarization charge on the electron-sheet density in the channel and how it reflects on the device transfer and output characteristics. We also investigate the role of the electron-electron interaction on the magnitude of the drain current. We find that 10% increase in the polarization charge is needed to match the experimental data when these two effects are included in the theoretical model.
