signal device metrics
5. output resistance: ro
6. transconductance: gm
threshold voltage: VT (lin) and VT (sat)
drain saturation voltage: VDSAT
You should also be familiar with the key metrics for digital
applications (on- and off-currents, SS, DIBL) and for
analogue applications (and how to extract them from
measured IV characteristics.
