Channel-Length Modulation
• The pinch-off point moves toward the source as VDS increases.
The length of the inversion-layer channel becomes shorter with increasing VDS.
ID increases (slightly) with increasing VDS in the saturation region of operation.

is the channel length modulation coefficient.

and L
• The effect of channel-length modulation is less for a long-
channel MOSFET than for a short-channel MOSFET.

• If VDS > Esat×L, the carrier velocity will saturate and hence the
drain current will saturate:

MOSFET Large-Signal Models (VGS > VTH)
• Depending on the value of VDS, the MOSFET can be represented
with different large-signal models.
