Bi I G =0 MOS Transistor Operation I D =0 when V GS <V T I D staturates when V GD <V T Pinch-off is an educational tool to justify saturation. At the drain end the electrons are out-of equilibrium, so the equilibrium concentration formula does NOT apply. Pinch-off occurs due to velocity saturation at drain end of the channel.

Bi MOS Transistor I-V characteristics Analytical derivation assumes Long channel Long channel implies uniform electric field within the channel Do you think measured values will match the analytical formula? Even for a physically long device? What can be done to predict the I-V curve of a transistor before fabrication? You are not responsible from the derivation of the transistor IV. You must be able to draw and understand the transistor band diagram.
